*************************************************************** From: Margherita Polacci <polacci@xxxxxxxxxx> *************************************************************** We want to bring to your attention a special session on volatiles and bubbles in magmas at the EGU General Assembly, April 13-18 2008 in Vienna: GMPV19 Volatiles and bubbles in magmas Volatiles play a significant role in the evolution of magmatic systems and are the driving force of volcanic eruptions. Recently, many new theoretical approaches, experimental studies, observations on active volcanoes and of igneous rocks and new methods of analysis have become available. The integration of these studies promises to provide us with a better insight into the role of volatiles in magmas and how their exsolution and transport can result in the variety of eruptive styles and gas compositions observed at volcanoes, and in the bubble size distributions found in their products. This session will bring together theoreticians, experimentalists, geophysicists, igneous petrologists and volcanologists to present their latest results on volatiles and their escape from magma systems. We invite contributions from all scientists studying volatiles and bubbles in magmatic systems. Please submit your abstract soon; the abstract deadline is 14 January 2008. See you in Vienna!
