The Commission on Volcanogenic Sediments fosters common interests in research on all sedimentological aspects of volcanic phenomena. It provides a forum for discussion, helps run field workshops and symposia at major conferences, and maintains a membership list of interested experts to aid communication and develop collaborations. The Commission concerns itself with the genesis, transport, deposition and diagenesis of all volcanogenic sediments. CVS members carry out research into the sedimentation of pyroclasts from eruption clouds and pyroclastic density currents, the generation of debris avalanche deposits during edifice failures, and the remobilisation of volcanic particles by surface processes (e.g., by lahars). This information is used to interrogate hazardous volcanic phenomena from process and hazard perspectives, construct facies models for volcanoes and volcanic systems, undertake stratigraphic analyses of edifices in order to establish volcanic eruption histories, and understand how volcanogenic sediments can impact non-volcanic sedimentary environments.

Inaugural call for nominations for the IAVCEI
Volcano Surveillance and Crisis Response Award
All IAVCEI members are invited to submit nominations for the IAVCEI Volcano Surveillance and Crisis Response Award, which will be presented at the Cities on Volcanoes meeting in Naples in September 2018.
Nominations may be made on behalf of an individual, individuals, or an observatory team, that has/have demonstrated exemplary service to the development of observatory-based volcanology and/or response to volcanic crises.
Nominations (instructions available on the IAVCEI website at this URL) should be submitted to Prof. D. B. Dingwell (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), IAVCEI President and Chair of the IAVCEI Awards Committee by 30 April 2018.
