*************************** IUGG Perugia General Assembly, Perugia, Italy, 2-13 July, 2007. "Intraplate monogenetic basaltic and kimberlite volcanic provinces and processes" *************************** Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to our session on "Intraplate monogenetic basaltic and kimberlite volcanic provinces and processes" to be held during the IUGG Perugia General Assembly, Perugia, Italy, 2-13 July, 2007. A description of the session is provided below. Best regards, Guido Giordano Ray Cas VS004: Intraplate monogenetic basaltic and kimberlite volcanic provinces and processes Conveners: Guido Giordano and Ray Cas The session will focus on the effects of the interplay between regional stress, other regional factors and the magmatic source on the development of monogenetic intraplate basaltic and kimberlite volcanism. The session is aimed at giving researchers the opportunity to discuss the variety of eruptive styles and volcanic features that characterise plains basalt provinces and kimberlite provinces. Effusive, strombolian, violent strombolian and phreatomagmatic styles are generally all displayed in plains basalt provinces. In both systems regional distribution of volcanoes and volcano types reflects the interaction of the rising magma with the structural fabric of the crust, the orientation and intensity of the regional stress field and the presence or absence of ground or surface water. Studies on both modern and ancient systems are welcome, as well as those on exhumed intrusive plumbing systems of such volcanic provinces. Hazard-related studies are also welcome.
