Recent volcanic activity worldwide has provided exceptional opportunities to study magmatic systems in near-real time. These events show both the societal impact of volcanism, from threats to infrastructure and communities to the challenges of crisis response. They also offer important opportunities to investigate magma storage, transport, and eruption dynamics.

This session invites contributions encompassing geochemistry, petrology, and geophysics, as well as monitoring, modeling, and crisis management, to advance our understanding of eruptive processes and their consequences. Case studies from recent eruptions in Iceland, Hawai‘i, the Canary Islands, Italy, Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines and other active volcanic regions are particularly welcome. We welcome studies based on field observations, laboratory experiments, geochemical and petrological analyses, numerical modeling and data-driven approaches, as well as contributions that consider the operational and societal dimensions of eruptive crises. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this session aims to promote dialogue across disciplines and between scientists and hazard managers. Topics of interest include magma plumbing system architecture, eruption triggers, timescales of magmatic processes, real-time geophysical and geochemical monitoring, and hazard assessment and mitigation strategies.

The session will provide a platform to synthesize lessons learned from recent eruptions, highlight methodological innovations, and promote integrated strategies for advancing volcanological research while strengthening responses to volcanic activity.
