Dear Colleagues,

We welcome your abstract submissions to a special session on quantitative modeling and cyberinfrastructure in petrology, geochemistry, and volcanology. Quantification and cyberinfrastructure are essential tools that support progress in volcanology, petrology and geochemistry, and we anticipate broad participation from all of these communities resulting in an illuminating session. 
Abstract deadline for electronic submission is September 3.  Information about the fall meeting can be found at http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/.

 

Session description:
V29: Quantitative Modeling and Cyberinfrastructure in Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology
Sponsor: Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology
CoSponsor:  Mineral and Rock Physics

 

Quantitative models provide fundamental constraints on nano- to macro-scale physical and chemical hypotheses for the evolution of volcanological, geochemical and petrological systems. Dramatic advances in computing power have strengthened the role that quantification plays in understanding natural systems, and application of natural data to quantitative models provides a framework for developing more sophisticated and increasingly realistic hypotheses. The VGP cyberinfrastructure facilitates access to modeling tools as well as databases that support model development and hypothesis testing. This session focuses on cyberinfrastructure, and microscopic to macroscopic model development and application to natural data sets in volcanology, geochemistry, and petrology. We seek contributions that highlight new quantitative models, including delineation of the governing principles upon which a model is built, case studies using existing quantitative models, descriptions of model deployment in distributed computing environments, and contributions describing databases that support the VGP community.
