This conference aims to be a platform where young African scientists will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with global experts on physical processes at all length and time scales. 
 
The conference will cover a wide range of topics related to volcanic processes from the subsurface to the atmosphere to volcanic particles and soils using a physical lens.

 
Topics will include:
 
  • Multiphase flows
  • Theoretical and numerical modelling of subsurface magma propagation
  • Volcanic-induced seismic signals and surface displacement analysis
  • Volcanic emissions dispersion modelling
  • Volcanic lake dynamics
  • Soil particle-water interactions
  • Relationships between volcanic eruptions - climate - volcanic environment and health
