1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Paul Jarvis <p.jarvis@xxxxxxxxxx> Dear all, The IAVCEI Commission on Tephra Hazard Modelling is looking to add new members to its leadership team. Paul will be stepping down as a co-lead at the IAVCEI General Assembly in Geneva in June-July 2025 and, whilst Thomas and Alastair will be staying on, we are keen to increase the number of co-leads so that the commission can better serve its members. Since its creation in 2003, the IAVCEI Commission on Tephra Hazard Modelling has worked on key issues in tephra hazard research and applications. We bring together scientists with different specializations (e.g., field-based physical volcanologists, petrologists, and modelers) to expand the understanding of hazardous processes and improve tephra-related models. The commission is open to anyone interested in tephra hazards who would like to contribute to activities, working groups, or to simply stay in the loop. In the last couple of years, activities within the commission have involved the initiation of a quarterly webinar series (Ashvances in Tephra Hazard Modelling) and supporting the *Tephra: Chronology, Stratigraphy, Hazards, & Climate *conference in Catania, Italy, in September 2024. We are also convening sessions and organising workshops at the upcoming IAVCEI General Assembly and have a proposal under consideration for a special publication on Tephra Hazard Modelling with the Geological Society. We are keen to see these activities continue and grow but, to do so, we need to grow our leadership team. If you would be interested in becoming a co-lead of the commission, please send a succinct CV and a short statement (maximum 500 words) on why you would like to join the commission leadership and what you feel you would bring to one of us by *31 May 2025*. We'll then be in touch ahead of the IAVCEI General Assembly with more information. You can also contact any of us with any questions you may have. Best wishes, Thomas Aubry (thom.aubry@xxxxxxxxx) Alastair Hodgetts (alastair.hodgetts@xxxxxxxxxxx) Paul Jarvis (p.jarvis@xxxxxxxxxx) 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
