Publications

As a special interest group with current and interesting research, VMSG periodically publishes a newsletter. Newsletters from 2019 and earlier are stored in the online archive, while newsletters from 2020 onwards can be viewed online.

For current openings and matters of interest, regular postings on the VMSG Facebook and LinkedIn groups and Twitter feed help members keep up to date with relevant news in the community. If you are interested in receiving news through any of these channels please click on the relevant icons at the top of this page.

In addition to the social media, we also run a mailing list for the latest newsletters and postings from within the volcanology community. To join the list, please see the membership page
