IAVCEI 1919-2019: One hundred years of international outreach and scientific advances in Volcanology
The International Association of Volcanology and Geochemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI), a section of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), is the global scientific body promoting volcanological research. The Bulletin of Volcanology has been the official IAVCEI journal since 1924. In 2019 IAVCEI celebrated its centenary. This special collection reviews the history, development and achievements of IAVCEI, in particular how its members have improved understanding of how volcanoes erupt and the impacts of eruptions on society and the IAVCEI's aims for the future.

Ray Cas
Ray Cas is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Geosciences at Monash University and was the President of IAVCEI 2011-2015. He is internationally well known in the field of physical volcanology, including understanding explosive and effusive eruption processes, transportation and dispersal processes of erupted products, the hazards posed by volcanic eruptions, and the natural resources that are produced by volcanoes.

Katharine Cashman
Katharine Cashman is a Research Professor at the University of Oregon and studies links between chemical and physical factors that control magma ascent, eruption, and emplacement on the Earth's surface. She is best known for her work that links the kinetics of bubble and crystal formation to the behaviour of volcanic materials, but has worked on problems that span from the chemical to physical to social aspects of volcanism.
