Glaciers and volcanoes interact in several ways. Volcanic and geothermal activity can alter the dynamics or mass balance of glaciers, and glaciers can influence the frequency and mechanisms of volcanic eruptions, resulting in the construction of distinct glaciovolcanic landforms. However, because of the remoteness of many glaciovolcanic environments, these interactions remain understudied.

In these complex settings, hazards associated with glacier-volcano interaction can vary from lava flows to volcanic ash fall, lahars, landslides, pyroclastic density currents, or glacial outburst floods. These can happen consecutively or simultaneously and have devastating impacts on society, as well as affect glaciers, rivers and the atmosphere. As glaciological and volcanological processes generate concurring signals, the challenge is to study, understand and ultimately discriminate these potentially coexisting signals. We wish to fully include geophysical observations of current and recent events with geological observations and interpretations of deposits of past events. Glaciovolcanoes also often preserve a unique record of the glacial or non-glacial eruptive environment that is capable of significantly advancing our knowledge of how Earth's climate system evolves.

We invite contributions focused on ice-covered volcanoes from anywhere on Earth and other planets that:
• improve the understanding of signals generated by ice-covered volcanoes;
• analyse glaciovolcanic eruptions, deposits or landforms;
• deal with the mitigation of hazards associated with ice-covered volcanoes;
• study the volcanic impacts on glaciers and vice versa;
• address climate and environmental change through glaciovolcanic studies.
Research on recent glaciovolcanic activity is especially welcomed. This includes geological observations e.g. of deposits in the field or remote-sensing data, together with experimental and modelling approaches. We aim to bring together scientists from volcanology, glaciology, seismology, geodesy, hydrology, geomorphology and atmospheric science to enable a broad discussion and interaction.
