Volcanic systems are dynamic entities, shaped by the interplay of magmatic, tectonic and geomorphological processes. This session will explore the mechanisms that drive their construction, deformation and evolution, from magma ascent and emplacement to the surface expression of volcanic landforms. Contributions examining the interaction between tectonic stress fields and volcanic activity in influencing edifice growth, deformation and the development of distinctive morphological features in various tectonic and climatic settings are particularly welcome. The geomorphological and sedimentary consequences of volcanism, such as the erosion, transport and redeposition of volcaniclastic materials, are also crucial as they reshape landscapes and affect terrestrial and submarine environments alike. We strongly encourage multidisciplinary approaches, including field studies, remote sensing, geophysical methods and laboratory analyses, to capture the complexities of volcanic systems throughout their lifecycle. Given the prevalence of coastal and submarine volcanic settings, investigations addressing submarine morphology and geophysical characteristics are of particular interest. Case studies from various tectonic environments, including arc, rift, hotspot and intraplate settings, will provide valuable comparative insights. By bringing together volcanology, structural geology, marine geology, geomorphology, and sedimentology, this session aims to promote discussion on how volcanotectonic processes influence volcanic landform evolution and its implications for hazard assessment and risk reduction.
