We encourage and welcome any presentations that describe, discuss, model … these phenomena and the associated social impacts, implications and lessons. If you have something to share, please consider submitting an abstract to our deadline.

I look forward to seeing you and your presentation at the meeting! Best regards, Peggy Hellweg
Session description:
The 15 January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai in the Tonga Islands was unprecedented in modern times. It was one of the largest volcanic explosions of the instrumental era and also caused atmospheric shockwaves that circled the globe. The eruption produced a tsunami that traveled throughout the Pacific and was also observed at locations in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. We welcome papers on the eruption, the atmospheric waves, any sources and characteristics of the tsunami, remote or nearby measurements of any of the associated phenomena, as well as threat assessment and communications and impacts.
Conveners: Peggy Hellweg, University of California, Berkeley; Lori A. Dengler, Humboldt State University; Emile A. Okal, Northwestern University; Seth Moran, U.S. Geological Survey; Stuart Weinstein, PTWC; Summer Ohlendorf, NTWC.
Deadline: Tuesday, 8 March 2022 at 5 p.m. Pacific.
