Volcanic activity plays a key role in modulating atmospheric processes at both regional and global scales. Explosive eruptions, persistent degassing, and aerosol emissions can significantly influence climate dynamics, yet their interactions with the coupled atmosphere-ocean system remain only partially understood. This session focuses on forward-looking strategies that combine multi-source data, real-time monitoring, and advanced modeling, including hybrid and data-driven approaches, to enhance our ability to monitor, interpret, and anticipate the climate impacts of volcanic activity. We welcome contributions that merge satellite, in situ, and paleo records with physical models and computational techniques. Emphasis is placed on detecting anomalies, identifying patterns, and quantifying both short- and long-term effects. Case studies of recent or historical major eruptions and the use of innovative analytical or simulation methods are particularly encouraged. The session promotes interdisciplinary dialogue among volcanology, atmospheric sciences, and computational modeling to advance understanding of how volcanic processes influence the climate system.

Volcanic hazard understanding is evolving rapidly thanks to breakthroughs in satellite Earth observation, physics-based simulations, and artificial intelligence. This session focuses on forward-looking strategies that integrate multi-source data, real-time monitoring, and advanced modeling to anticipate the dynamics and impacts of eruptions. We invite contributions that address uncertainty quantification, improve hazard forecasting, and support timely decision-making through innovative approaches. Emphasis is placed on cross-disciplinary methods that couple remote sensing with machine learning, probabilistic frameworks, and impact assessment tools. We particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate operational or near-real-time applications, scenario-based forecasting, and integration of diverse datastreams from ground-based and orbital platforms. The session aims to highlight advances that are redefining how we detect, interpret, and respond to volcanic activity. By fostering collaboration across geophysics, computer science, and risk management, we seek to build a next-generation framework for volcanic hazard anticipation, response, and long-term resilience in the face of increasingly complex global challenges.
