Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a theme session on "Active
Volcano-Glacier Interactions: Process, Products, Hazards" that will occur
at the GSA Cordilleran Section meeting in Bellingham, WA from May 4-6,
2007. The DEADLINE for electronic submission of abstracts is coming soon
on February 6, 2007 at 2359 CDT (0459 UTC). Meeting details may be found
at http://www.geosociety.org/sectdiv/cord/07cdmtg.htm
Active Volcano-Glacier Interactions: Process, Products, Hazards.
This session will address the interaction between glacial ice and
active volcanoes. Unrest at ice-clad volcanoes (including intrusion,
increases in fumarolic output, and eruptions) can profoundly disturb
glacial cover, resulting in distinctive seismicity, avalanche, debris
flow, flood generation, and dramatic changes in glacier topography and
motion. Recent activity in Alaska and the Cascades have highlighted these
processes and products and provided new and sometimes surprising glimpses
into the behavior of ice during eruptions. This session will present
recent examples of volcano-ice interaction and what has been learned about
physical process and resulting hazards.
