******************************************************************* From: Eoghan Holohan <holohane@xxxxxx> ******************************************************************* Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to, and encourage your participation in, the following session at the 2008 International Geological Congress in Oslo, Norway (August 6th – 14th). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The construction/destruction of magmatic and volcanic systems: New insights into magma-tectonic and volcano-tectonic processes in the Earth's crust (MVP-06) Magmatic and volcanic activity is intimately linked to the deformation of the Earth's crust on local and regional scales. Mechanisms of magma transport, storage, and eruption, and of the associated construction and destruction of volcanic systems, have been studied for decades, but many interlinked aspects are still debated. These include: 1) the geometric evolution of sub-volcanic plutons and plumbing systems; 2) the interactions between stress, fracturing, intrusion, and eruption; 3) the control of regional-tectonic regimes on the ascent, emplacement and eruption of magma; 4) the structural evolution of volcanic edifices, including calderas, maars, shields, and strato-volcanoes. This session invites contributions providing new insights into the processes of magma ascent, emplacement and eruption, and into the mechanical relationships between volcanoes, sub-volcanic intrusions, and crustal deformation. The session will bring together and help further integrate approaches such as field study, petrology and geochemistry, experimental and numerical modelling, remote sensing, geodesy and geophysics, to improve our understanding of the physical development of magmatic and volcanic systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please note that the application and abstract deadline for the Geohost Stipend programme (for young scientists and/or scientists from developing countries) is January 15th 2008. The regular abstract submission deadline is February 29th 2008 Further details concerning, abstract submission, registration, the Geohost stipend, the IGC 2008 scientific programme, etc. may be found at http://www.33igc.org/coco/ Looking forward to seeing you in Oslo, Olivier Galland and Eoghan Holohan ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
