This session is focused on updated examples of geological mapping, stratigraphic analyses, and chronology in volcanic areas as essential tools for robust assessment of eruptive behavior and as inputs and constraints for physical modeling, hazard evaluation, resource-exploration, and land-planning. The multidisciplinary knowledge of the structure of a volcanic system represents the basis for physical and mathematical modelling of eruptive processes and provides information to describe the processes that control unrest dynamics. We give particular interest to the role of volcanic maps as fundamental tools for decision-making processes on territorial management and risk mitigation. Tephrostratigraphic studies in different marine and terrestrial archives are also welcomed as examples in reconstructing the eruptive history of a volcano, and the frequency and the impact of its eruptive activity on the surroundings. We also encourage studies on different dating methods, that are essential to geologic and stratigraphic reconstruction, and in particular on paleomagnetic techniques, which in the last years have been increasingly used to provide not only high-resolution dating, but also to correlate volcanic deposits, to evaluate flow directions, and to estimate the emplacement temperature of pyroclastic deposits.
