******************************************************************* From: Manfred van Bergen <vbergen@xxxxxxxxx> ******************************************************************* Dear Colleagues, 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. Please use the IAVCEI website http://www.iavcei2008.hi.is/page/I08-absub 3-e Volcanic and geothermal systems at the Earth's surface: from fumaroles and mudpools to volcanic lakes Crater lakes, mudpools and fumaroles are among the main visible features of volcanic and geothermal systems and often serve as calorimeters and chemical monitors of the underlying volcanoes. We invite papers for a special session on volcanic lakes, fumaroles and surface springs with a focus on all aspects of their chemistry and physics. We encourage submitting papers that deal with monitoring, including remote techniques, geological and environmental issues of volcanic lakes and fumaroles, acid fluids, alteration mineralogy, sediment records in volcanic lakes and biological processes. This session will focus on: - The chemistry and physics of volcanic lakes - The geochemistry of acid fluids, fumaroles and mudpools - Volcanic lakes and fumaroles as chemical monitors of underlying volcanoes - Sediment records in volcanic lakes - Acid fluids and acid surface alteration mineralogy - Biological processes associated with acid fluids Please contact any of the conveners if you have questions: Andri Stefánsson, Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland, as@xxxxx Johan Varekamp, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Wesleyan University, Middletown CT, USA, jvarekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxx Manfred van Bergen, Department of Earth Sciences, Utrecht University, the Netherlands, vbergen@xxxxxxxxx Alain Bernard, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, abernard@xxxxxxxxx ============================================================== 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. ==============================================================
