Priority will also be given to networking activities falling in these categories:
■ Pre-eruption precursors and triggers
■ Eruption states and regime transitions (mechanisms and signals)
■ Multiparameter measurements on pyroclastic products and inversion techniques
■ Multiparameter remote sensing and inversion techniques
■ Models of volcano eruption dynamics and their experimental validation
■ Importation of research expertise to the volcano observatories
