It was one of the largest<br>volcanic explosions of the instrumental era and also caused atmospheric<br>shockwaves that circled the globe. The eruption produced a tsunami that<br>traveled throughout the Pacific and was also observed at locations in<br>the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. We welcome papers on the<br>eruption, the atmospheric waves, any sources and characteristics of the<br>tsunami, remote or nearby measurements of any of the associated<br>phenomena, as well as threat assessment and communications and impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conveners: Peggy Hellweg, University of California, Berkeley; Lori A.<br>Dengler, Humboldt State University; Emile A.
