 is calling for submissions to our Collection on Data Visualization and Effective Communication in Volcanology: Cross-disciplinary Lessons from Research and Practice.

This collection will highlight effective approaches for visualising and communicating volcanic information: from monitoring data to hazard model outputs, through to risk, impact, vulnerability information, and more.

Effective communication of technical information is critical to enhance the understanding of a volcano鈥檚 history, status, or forecast, and is vital for effective risk management. However, it is important not just to consider the aesthetic qualities of visual displays, we must consider how our visualisation and communication choices impact people鈥檚 responses to information, including how it may affect their decision performance. The effective display of critical information also impacts trust in the information, and the source of the information, particularly when uncertainty is present. Lessons for effective communication and visualisation can be drawn from numerous fields, including design science, UX, psychology, communication studies, informatics, GIS, data science, etc. Factors that can influence interpretation and use of visualisations include aspects such as volume, colour, graphics, symbology, uncertainty, and integration of local and cultural knowledge. Additionally, with the growth of big data, both AI and deep learning present opportunities and risks in the visualisation and use of complex volcanic information. 

In this special collection, we welcome submissions on a range of topics exploring effective information visualisation, considering the full spectrum of approaches to displaying complex science: ranging from effective maps and displays of spatial and three- or four-dimensional information, through to the use of symbology and information products for non-technical users, and beyond. We are interested in papers presenting research studies, case studies, and literature reviews, including evidence for best practice, techniques to identify and evaluate user needs and preferences, evaluation methods, software for visualisation and management of big data, and other topics that support effective communication. 

Prior abstract submissions are not necessary, however the Guest Editors welcome authors to discuss ideas they may have for manuscripts prior to submission. Springer Nature offers several options for open access fee support, these include institutional , reduced fees via for corresponding authors based in lower income countries (as defined by the World Bank), and case-by-case waivers or discounts based on financial need. The Journal of Applied Volcanology also has a limited number of partial and full fee waivers that can be assessed on a case-by-case basis based on need. If you are interested in applying, please indicate your interest at the point of manuscript submission and outline your case in your submission letter. More information can be found . 
We also invite applications to join the guest editor team for this special collection. If interested, please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Emma Hudson-Doyle.
