Specialist Group in Volcanology (LAVA)

Who are we?

Learned Australasian Volcanology Association (LAVA) is a specialist group of the Geological Society of Australia. We have a sibling organisation under the auspices of the Geoscience Society of New Zealand. A LAVA Newsletter is sent to members 2-3 times per year with updates on field trips, new publications, future events, and meetings. LAVA provides a research funding opportunity to current postgraduate and early career LAVA members looking for assistance with research costs or publishing their research. We also facilitate field trips together with our LAVA NZ members.

How to join?

First join the GSA under the Member tab on the GSA website. Then select one of the specialist group affiliations.

Alternatively, contact [email protected] if you are already a member to join and pay the prescribed fee.
