Workshop Volcano Seismology & Acoustics

Established in 1990, the Annual Workshop on Volcano Seismology and Acoustics hosts an active working group dedicated to all aspects of volcano seismology and acoustics, including seismic hazard in volcanic settings, new technologies, concepts, and models, as well as interdisciplinary studies from a wide range of volcanoes worldwide.

We kindly encourage students, academics and professionals to join us in the shadow of Villarrica volcano, an active, open-vent, glacier-covered volcano in southern Chile.

Please make travel arrangements so that you arrive on 23 November and depart no earlier than 29 November 2025.
