********************************************************************* From: Maurizio Battaglia <battag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ********************************************************************* We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the European Geoscience Union General Assembly 2008 and invite you to contribute. Vienna, Austria, 13 - 18 April 2008. Section: Natural Hazards Volcanic hazards Title: NH3.4 Volcanic hazards at large silicic calderas (co-listed in GMPV) Session description Large silicic calderas have been the site of the some of the largest explosive volcanic eruptions found in the geological record. There are a number of calderas around the world which are currently exhibiting restlessness, as shown by continued seismicity, deformation, and/or degassing. Yet the origin or origins of this restlessness can be enigmatic. This session seeks to discuss the cause of caldera unrest and their potential implications for the assessment and mitigation of volcanic hazard by bringing together researchers from various disciplines. Submissions which examine a particular caldera from different but related angles are encouraged. Contributions from the fields of statistics, seismology, deformation (e.g., leveling, geodimetry, GPS, interferometry, and paeleodeformation), gas geochemistry, hydrothermal/geothermal systems, gravity, petrology, high-temperature, low-temperature, and isotope geochemistry, tectonics, and modeling are invited.
