Volcanoes and earthquakes may be communicating on different scales and in different ways. Volcanoes may be activated after tectonic earthquakes, neighbouring volcanoes become simultaneously active, and volcanoes may activate faults. The interactions may work on spatial distances exceeding hundreds of kilometres. This session provides a forum to discuss novel research related to volcano interactions. For example, how is stress transferred between intrusions and faults? What are the effects of a seismic wave passing through magma? What are the specific conditions for these waves to impart damage to volcanic material, and at what point will the material fail or magma erupt?

The characterisation of earthquake-induced strain to a volcanic edifice, or changes in the magmatic system, is complicated by the system’s inherent heterogeneity and behaviour at different spatial and temporal scales. This session aims to highlight advances in volcano-earthquake interactions from experimental, geophysical, numerical, analogue, analytical, statistical, theoretical, remote sensing or fieldwork studies. We welcome insights from regional-scale tectonic studies to lab-scale bubble experiments, and everything in between in the hope to develop synergy between researchers across the spectrum of approaches. This can include, but is not limited to, contributions on the following topics:
• Earthquake-triggered eruptions, and vice versa
• Fault dynamics near volcanoes
• Mechanisms of earthquake-triggered tensional or shear failures
• Dynamic experiments (high pressure, high temperature, phase-change, cyclic, etc.)
• Velocity changes during volcanic rock deformation and failure
• Measurements of earthquake-induced rock damage
• Magma reactions and fragmentation
• Bubble dynamics
• Cascading volcano-earthquake hazards
