Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to the
following session at the 2008 EGU General
Assembly (Vienna, Austria, 13 ­ 18 April 2008):

Title: GMPV25 "Volcano flank instability"

Conveners: Giuseppe Puglisi (INGV Catania), Thomas R. Walter (GFZ Potsdam)


There is evidence that most large volcanoes show
signs of flank deformations or even flank
collapses. Due to the increasing accuracy of
volcano geodetic techniques, such as GPS and
InSAR, seismological and rock mechanical data,
gravity and (electro-)magnetic measurements, as
well as due to a large number of theoretical and
experimental models, the understanding of volcano
growth and instability has greatly improved in
the past years. The impact of flank instability
on human settlements, natural environments or
economy, highlights the need to study these
phenomena and include them in volcanic hazard assessment.
This session will provide a focused forum for the
scientists involved in the study of flank
instability from geophysical, geodetic,
geochemical and petrological disciplines and we
especially hope to address the coupling of events
that may lead to flank collapses.
We encourage submitting contributions related to
the stressing and destabilization of volcanic
flanks. Studies devoted to the understanding of
flank instability and the influence of the
physical parameters and time-dependent
deformation of rocks, the tectonic control, the
interaction of unstable or collapsing flanks with
magmatic processes, dike propagation or magma
chamber evolution, and the development and
application of techniques used to measure such
phenomena over different scales, are particularly welcome.

The abstract deadline is 14 January 2008.

We apologize for multiple postings.
