*********************************************************** From: John E Bailey <jbailey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *********************************************************** Greetings, We would like to invite you to participate in the following session to be held at the IAVCEI General Assembly 2008. The deadline for abstract submission is 1 April 2008: 2-l Physical characteristics of ignimbrites The shape, distribution and physical appearance of ignimbrite deposits is influenced by many factors, occurring on range of scales, both during and post-emplacement. This session will be concerned with observations and measurements of ignimbrites from field to remote sensing level that can lead to better characterization of ignimbrite extents, sources, lithologies, welding intensity (rank or grade), and depositional, post-depositional, and erosion histories. This increased understand of ignimbrite properties will lead to a greater understanding of emplacement mechanisms and the processes behind large-scale eruptive volcanism.
