About us

The Commission on Volcanogenic Sediments fosters common interests in research on all sedimentological aspects of volcanic phenomena, from the genesis, transport, deposition and diagenesis of all volcanogenic sediments. The scope of CVS is broad; from ash clouds to debris avalanches, from process to product, from hazard analysis to constructing facies models, from modern to ancient systems, from purely volcanological to purely sedimentological perspectives.
