Introduction to special issue on volcano-ice interactions on Earth and Mars: The state of the science

摘要

The study of volcano-ice interactions, also referred to as 'glaciovolcanism' (e.g., Kelman et al., 2002), has become an important topic of scientific research over the past 30 years, even though its study goes back to the early 1900s (Peacock, 1926; Noe-Nygaard, 1940; Mathews, 1947; van Bemmelen and Rutten, 1955). Four important themes drive this increasing importance: volcano hazard awareness and prevention, the Pleistocene global climate record, potential feedbacks between deglaciation and volcanism, and Martian geoscience research.
