************************************************************************ From: Giuseppe Puglisi <puglisi-g@xxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************************ Dear Colleague, we would like to remind you that the deadline for submission of abstracts to the session on "Volcano deformation, dynamics and deep structure" (GMPV3), at the 2009 EGU General Assembly (Vienna, Austria, 19-24 April 2009), is upcoming (13 January 2009): (for details: http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2009/). This session embraces studies in Structural Geology, Tectonics, Volcanology and Petrology and largely derives from the merging of the former Volcano-Tectonics and Volcano-Collapse sessions. The conveners are Valerio Acocella (University Roma Tre, Italy), Agust Gudmundsson (Royal Halloway London, England), Giuseppe Puglisi (INGV Catania, Italy), Sergio Vinciguerra (INGV Roma, Italy) and Tom Walter (GFZ Potsdam, Germany). A description of the session is provided below. Please pass this information on to colleagues and students working in this field. We apologize for any multiple posting and look forward to meet you in Vienna. Thank you. Kind regards, Valerio Acocella, Agust Gudmundsson, Giuseppe Puglisi, Sergio Vinciguerra, Tom Walter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Session Information The session on "volcano deformation, dynamics and deep structure" deals with any type of deformation (such as that induced by tectonic forces, magma or gravity), at any scale, in subaerial and submarine volcanic areas, at the surface and at depth. Its aim is to recognize how volcanoes deform, to understand their dynamics, with particular care in evaluating the involved hazard. We welcome any contribution based on results from fieldwork, remote-sensing studies, geophysical and geodetical measurements, and analytical, analogue, and numerical models. The session includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics: * volcanism and regional tectonics; * formation of magma chambers, laccoliths, and other intrusions; * dyke propagation, emplacement and arrest; * earthquakes and eruptions; * caldera collapse, resurgence and unrest; * sector collapse of volcanoes; * volcano deformation and hazard mitigation; * physical properties of rocks at volcanoes. ============================================================== 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. ==============================================================
