Workshop "Geological Fieldwork in Volcanc Areas"

The 3rd workshop on Volcano Geology is the ideal prosecution of the first two, held in Madeira (Portugal) on July 2014 and in Prague on July 2015, hosted by IUGG meeting. It aims to be a forum to present and discuss the current topics of the geological studies in modern Volcanology, and to examine the first steps of the just established IAVCEI commission on Volcano Geology.

This workshop will be particularly focused on discussing the state of the art of geological fieldwork and mapping in volcanic areas, which are the baseline for understanding the volcano behaviour and its associated hazards. Some keynote lectures and a poster session are planned to promote a wide discussion on main topics of Volcano Geology, combined with fieldtrips on wonderful outcrops of Mt Etna (including Valle del Bove depression and NE Rift) and Vulcano, Lipari and Stromboli volcanoes (Aeolian Islands) comprising the ascent to the Stromboli active craters.

This workshop is organized by Federico Lucchi (BiGeA) together with colleagues of the University of Bari, CNR-Milano and INGV-Catania.
