The IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism (CMV) main goal is to provide a forum for researchers to define and understand the phenomenon of small volume magmatic systems and their surface expression as volcano fields. The CMV aim is to take leading…
For those attending the IAVCEI meeting in Rotorua we will have an in person lunch meeting on Feb 3, 2023 from 13:30- 14:30 in the One Foundation room of the conference center. Please join us to enjoy an in person...
The Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism is calling for host institutions for the First International Monogenetic Conference. The International Monogenetic Conferences (IMC) are the successor series to the International Maar Conferences, which ran from 2000 to 2018. The International Maar Conferences...
The Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism will be holding an election for new officers leading up to the next IAVCEI meeting in early 2023. We have nominations for: Two co-leaders, a secretary, a student representative, a webmasters, and a social media...
James F. Luhr made lasting impacts on volcanology and the volcano community. To honor his memory, and love of monogenetic volcanoes, this award was named in his honor. The award is given out at the International Maar Conference held every...
Our next talk will be November 16 at 5 pm Central North American time. August 30, 2022 Dr. Marie-Noelle Guilbaud spoke about large shield volcanoes in Mexico. July 12, 2022 Illmars Gravis spoke on Geoheritage in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Dual...

International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior was founded in 1919, originally as the International Association of Volcanology (IAV).
IAVCEI focuses on research of volcanology and mitigation of volcanic disasters. Scientists also participate in IAVCEI research in closely related disciplines, such as igneous geochemistry and petrology, geochronology, volcanogenic mineral deposits, and the physics of the generation and ascent of magmas in the upper mantle and crust.
The IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism (CMV) main goal is to provide a forum for researchers to define and understand the phenomenon of small volume magmatic systems and their surface expression as volcano fields. The CMV aim is to take leading role to facilitate, coordinate and focus research and research outputs in regard to monogenetic volcanism and to assist to researchers to develop a refined and unified model of this type of volcanism.
The term monogenetic as applied to volcanic systems carries with it the concept of eruptions of batches of magma within short timescales. Monogenetic volcanism is commonly expressed as clusters of individual volcanoes forming fields of small cones which are a consequence of dispersed plumbing systems feeding discrete batches of magma to the Earth’s surface. Beyond this relatively simple concept there is a wide range of temporal, spatial and compositional variables.
