July conference call

From ICAO/USGS Eruption Source Wiki

Dear ESP workshop members:

Our progress report conference call is about two months away, (7/31, 11 AM PDT). To ensure that we actually have something to report, I suggest that the workgroup leaders contact your group members in the next week or so to discuss how to move forward. Here are some possible goals for July 31:

Contents 1 Overall schema 2 Grain size distribution 3 Sensitivity analysis 4 Eruption list workgroup 5 “Integrate-into-real-world” workgroup

Overall schema

(Larry Mastin, chair; John Ewert, Roger Denlinger, Lee Siebert, Marianne Guffanti, Alain Volentik)

• 1) Identify a set of default ESP’s for “unknown” volcanoes
• 2) Draft preliminary ESP’s for some generic volcano types (basalt, andesite, silicic) following Table 1in the meeting notes.

Grain size distribution

(Bill Rose, chair; Alain Volentik, Larry Mastin and Adam Durant)

• 1) Identify a preliminary “default” grain-size distribution.
• 2) Offer a preliminary roadmap for refining the GSD.

Sensitivity analysis

(Larry Mastin, chair; Rene Servranckx, Barbara Stunder, Ken Dean, Peter Webley)

• 1) Offer, say, two cases for which sensitivity analysis could be conducted; one in the tropics, one at high latitude.
• 2) Agree on a strategy for the sensitivity analyses.

Eruption list workgroup

(John Ewert, chair; Rene Servranckx, Marianne Guffanti, Barbara Stunder, Peter Webley, Andrew Tupper, Larry Mastin)

• 1) Put together a list of first-order volcanoes that can be individually characterized.

“Integrate-into-real-world” workgroup

(Dave Schneider, chair; Cynthia Gardner, Grace Swanson, Rene Servranckx, Tony Hall, Barbara Stunder, Charles Holliday)

• 1) I’ll leave this one open.
