| Date: July 19 (Fri), 9:00-17:00 Place: Houzan Hall We are planning a parallel workshop to take place before the meeting, on Friday 19 July 2013 in Kagoshima. This workshop is not on the official workshop list, but it complements a session on “Stress, strain and mass changes at active volcanoes”. The workshop will be focused on teaching new methods for calculating parameters that are useful in volcano monitoring. The workshops will consist of 1/2 to 1-day sessions on topics of interest. Sample data sets will be provided for each of the methods and will be discussed at the workshop. Program is: 1. MFAST shear-wave splitting package and associate TESSA tomography package: Presenters Martha Savage, Jessica Johnson and Ernestynne Walsh (MFAST is written with free publicly available software; TESSA requires MATLAB) 2. Methodology and programs for using background seismic noise to monitor changes in surface wave velocity with time. The package called MSNoise (Monitoring using Seismic Noise) will be used and is written in Python (no Matlab needed). Presenters Florent Brenguier and Thomas Lecocq, from the Royal Observatory of Belgium will be presenting it. 3. Programs for how to invert GPS data for simple pressure source characteristics using either MATLAB or Python. Presenters: Nico Fournier and/or Flavio Cannavo 4. The basics of how to use the PyLith finite element code for the solution of dynamic and quasi-static tectonic deformation problems. Presenter: Charles Williams, Adrian Shelley 5. Seismic amplitude ratio analysis. Presenter Benoit Taisne. The workshop is free, but you need to sign up by May 1 with an indication of which sessions you are most interested in attending.

| Topics include online simulation tools, educational materials, the submission process, using the ‘groups’ feature, privacy rights, and more. Examples of simulation tools to be discussed include: Pingu: plots standard major element and trace elements diagrams. BET_VH: graphically supported computation of long-term probabilities of hazardous volcanic phenomena through a Bayesian Event Tree model. Windre: statistical analysis of wind direction and speed near any of 536 historically active volcanoes. TEPHRA2: calculates the mass loading of tephra on the ground. Includes forward, educational, and probabilistic versions. Titan2D: models geophysical mass flows (volcanic flows, avalanches, landslides etc.) over natural terrain . Each of these tools is installed and available for use on VHub.org. Come to the workshop for explanations, help, and hands-on exercises with these and other VHub.org tools. Get your questions answered and find out where to go for more detailed information about any particular model. Find out how to become a tool developer and share the models that you have designed for your own research with the greater volcanological community. Participants must bring their own laptops.

| Date: July 26 (Fri) 9:30-16:30 Place: Tenmonkan Visionhall 6F, Kagoshima City http://www.hosoyamada.co.jp/visionhall/Hall-Guide/visionhall.html (in Japanese) Location: http://goo.gl/maps/qUrTk (about 800m SSW from the IAVCEI 2013 Conference Place) Prediction of the impacts of volcanic mass flows (lava flows, pyroclastic density currents, debris avalanches and debris flows) is required for hazard and risk assessment, and for design of risk mitigation measures. Numerical computer-based models now exist, capable of approximating the motion of a given volume of volcanic material from its source to the deposition area. As the technology begins to mature, it is useful to compare the various models each other. A benchmark is a comparison of models aimed at simulating the same physical process upon common initial and boundary conditions and outputs, but using different physical formulations, mathematical approaches and numerical techniques. Following the approach of inter-comparison projects for volcanic ash dispersal and atmospheric models, and the 2007 Hong Kong Landslide Runout Analysis Benchmarking Exercise, we propose a one-day workshop that will set up the basis for a future general benchmarking exercise on volcanic mass flow models. The workshop program will include two separate sessions focusing on pyroclastic density currents (morning) and lava flows (afternoon). Each session will consist of an introductory lecture, an open discussion to establish the set of benchmarks able to cope with the challenges of modeling volcanic mass flows and, if possible, selected presentations of preliminary results from the participants of the benchmarking exercise.

| Date: July 25 (Thu), 9:00-17:00 Place: Houzan Hall Accurate prediction of volcanic systems requires understanding how it flows. Rheology establishes the constitutive law later used in numerical modeling and is fundamental for research or risk assessment. It can be only achieved by pushing further the rheology of magmas. It recently experienced serious turnovers. Rheology of two phase magmas (i.e. Melt + bubbles or Melt + crystals) reached a degree of global comprehension which allows tackling the last major step, three phase magmas rheology. However, beyond the positive progress new questions have raised and some questions remain to be solved. Among these questions are the rheology at low strain-rate, the impact and limits of crystal rigidity, strain/stress localization, stability of bubbles or the real sources of Non-Newtonian behavior. With the present working-group we wish to namely, 1- reference and archive previous works on magma rheology into an open database operating under the best of nowadays possibilities in terms of analysis and communication, 2- gather each year all specialists of the field to discuss domains of investigation and define the hard-lines which require strong focus, 3- Increase collaboration and efficiency of teams sharing similar interests.

| Date: July 19 (Fri) 13:00-17:00 Place: Houzan Hall A half-day workshop will focus on fundamental processes and social impacts of tephra falls and volcanic gas dispersions. These phenomena are often primary concerns to local populations living around active volcanoes because of their high dispersal capability. One million people living in Kagoshima city and the surrounding area, at which the workshop will be held, also have experienced numerous ashfall events from Sakurajima volcanoes in the last half century. We will share the lessons learned from such recent volcanic eruptions in Japan and some other countries and discuss the effective future management on similar hazards.
