********************************************************************* From: Lorella Francalanci <lorella.francalanci@xxxxxxxx> ********************************************************************* The AIV (Associazione Italiana di Vulcanologia), with the University of Athens and the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration, Greece, remind you that the DEADLINE for the early registration (15 JUNE 2009) at the International Summer School of Volcanology in NISYROS, GREECE, is approaching. The program of the school is now available at WWW.AIVULC.IT, together with additional details on poster session and travel information. The School, scheduled for September 25-30 2009 at Nisyros, Dodecanese, will deal on "Field volcanological laboratory: the Nisyros and the adjoining volcanoes, Greece - A window on the pre-eruptive magma processes -" The school is aimed at providing the scientific background for the different mechanisms of magma eruption and emplacement, and their relationships with pre-eruptive magmatic processes. Nisyros and the adjoining volcanic islands, in the South Aegean Active Volcanic Arc, represent a wonderful key zone for fulfilling the aims of the school due to the presence, in a small and accessible area, of a large variability of volcanic rocks emplaced by effusive, extrusive and variably explosive activity. The general volcanological history and the magma evolution of Nisyros are also quite well known. About half time of the school will be spent in the field to describe rocks and eruption processes, trying also to promote discussions among the participants. The program comprises six thematic days organised in both field and class lectures. The school will offer to the participants a broad spectrum of topics, including: tectonics, magma genesis and evolution the South Aegean Active Arc, explosive eruptions and their deposits in submarine and subaerial environment, magma mingling evidence in lava flows and domes, hydrothermal activity and geothermal energy, volcanic hazard and risk assessment at dormant volcanoes, monitoring networks The target for the school will be graduate students, Ph.D students and post-docs in volcanology (max and min numbers of participants are 30 and 20, respectively). Deadline for Early registration is 15th June 2009 with Final registration before 20th July 2009.
