The New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics (NZJGG) has just launched a special issue on Volcanic Activity around the Pacific Ring of Fire. You can find more details about this project on the Call for Expressions of Interest page. The guest editor team includes Antonio M. Ã?lvarez-Valero (Universidad de Salamanca, Spain), Sophie Pearson-Grant (GNS Science, NZ), Andreas Auer (Shimane University, Japan), Alessio Pontesilli (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy). This special issue aims to serve as a platform for advancing regional and global understanding of volcanic systems in the Ring of Fire and fostering the exchange of cutting- edge research among volcanologists, geophysicists, and geochemists worldwide. We seek high-quality, original research articles, technical reviews, and short communications that advance knowledge in the following areas: - Magma genesis, evolution, and storage in subduction zone settings - Volcanic eruption dynamics and depositional processes - Seismic, geodetic, and geochemical monitoring of active volcanoes - Geophysical imaging of magmatic and hydrothermal systems - Tephrochronology, paleovolcanology, and stratigraphic correlations - Hazard assessment, eruption forecasting, and risk mitigation strategies - Comparative volcanology and regional synthesis studies - Advances in remote sensing and real-time monitoring technologies - Integration of geological, geophysical, and geochemical datasets - Experimental studies with implications for subduction zone magmatism The guest editor team are hoping you would be interested in submitting an Expression of Interest for this issue. Please send a preliminary title, indicative author list and a short descriptive paragraph outlining the scope of your proposed manuscript to the Managing Guest Editor at aav@xxxxxxx by 31 August 2025. You would have until 30 April 2026 to submit a full manuscript of the paper. NZJGG is offering a First Paper Award for global students whose first NZJGG paper is accepted as the corresponding author. Up to ten awards are granted annually on a first- come, first-served basis, subject to scientific evaluation and peer review. Winners receive NZ$200. To participate, submit an article affirming eligibility and confirming that the manuscript is the corresponding authorâ??s first NZJGG paper. Eligibility requires the corresponding author to be currently enrolled at any university globally and to have their first NZJGG paper accepted. We hope to see your EOI submission soon! 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
