On behalf of the hosting geochemical community from the Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology and Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) we are happy to invite the international
geochemical scientific group working on volcanic gases to participate in the 2011 Gas Workshop to
be held in Kamchatka, Russia, between 1st
and 10th
September 2011.
The main topics of the workshop are the intercomparison of results of the simultaneous
geochemical sampling, remote sensing methods and discussions of the current problems of the
theory and practice of volcano degassing.
The programme will include a scientific meeting focused mainly on geochemistry of volcanic
gases. The main topics will be:
Folder and materials (T-shirt, folder, pen, program, copies of papers)
Organization and Logistics
A Kamchatkan tour company "Volcanolog Tour" will be responsible for organization and logistics of
our staying in Kamchatka. We dont know yet, but it seems that the fee should be paid through a
bank transfer. Everyone who will be pre-registered and whose participation is accepted will
receive the necessary banking information. The Volcanolog Tour will be also responsible for the
invitation letter for visa application.
If you have any questions you can contact directly Mr. Yuri Pushkarev who will handle our
workshop, by email: inest@kscnet.ru

Custom
To avoid problems with the Russian custom we need to follow a special procedure well before the
workshop. Some 6 month before arriving in Russia, a detailed list of the equipment that will cross
the Russian border should be prepared. A special letter for the custom authorities then will be sent
to each group or person transporting equipment. Necessary details about the format of the
needed data will be mailed to the community later.

asked for the organization of this event)
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS AND PRE-REGISTRATION IS FEBRUARY 28,
2011 !!!
One of the most important controlling factors of fieldwork in Kamchatka
is a changeable Kamchatkan weather. Therefore, the schedule above is a
first approximation and can be changed during the Workshop.
For excursion and a likely attempt of remote sensing of the
Klyuchevskoy group of volcanoes after the Workshop (11-15
Sept), please contact (and contract) "Volcanolog Tour" 1.5-2
months before the Workshop (e-mailinest@kscnet.ru,fax+7(4152)297899)
