Dear Colleagues,
Please be aware of the following AGU session, to which pertinent
abstracts are highly welcome!
V22: Yellowstone Volcano Dynamics: Contemporary Measurements and
Studies Of Active Magmatic and Tectonic Sources
Sponsor: Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology
CoSponsor: Geodesy
Seismology
Tectonophysics
Description: Recent observations of the Yellowstone volcanic system
and its globally significant hotspot document the highly dynamic nature
of this singular magmatic-tectonic system. New studies recognize
continual and sometimes rapid variations in crustal deformation,
earthquake activity, hydrologic flow, geyser periodicity and thermal
output. The underlying controls on these diverse phenomena likely
include variations in magma intrusion rates, bedrock permeability,
regional stresses, climatic factors, and interaction amongst variable
sources. Progress in understanding the geodynamics of this complex
system requires a synthesis of ideas from a wide range of earth-science
specialties. This session seeks contributions related to understanding
active changes in the Yellowstone system, whatever their nature or
cause. Contributions from new observations are sought from studies of
real-time seismic and GPS networks, systematic monitoring from
geochemical and hydrologic networks, remote sensing, integrative
modeling of magmatic and tectonic processes, and implications for
volcanic, seismic and hydrothermal hazards.
