Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to, and encourage your
participation in, the session “V12: Volcano-Tectonics: New Insights
from Earth and Other Planets” at the 2009 AGU Fall Meeting in San
Francisco (December 14th – 18th). This session is jointly sponsored by
the committees for Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology (V), Earth
and Planetary Surface Processes (EP), Planetary Sciences (P) and
Tectonophysics (T). The session’s aims and scope are given at the end
of this notice.

V12: Volcano-Tectonics: New Insights from Earth and Other Planets
“Volcano-Tectonics” encompasses both planetary and regional scale
processes that determine every aspect of volcanic activity on many
bodies of our solar system. Such volcano-tectonic processes have
become an increasingly important focus of volcanological study. This
session aims to provide a forum for discussion and further integration
of diverse approaches to the study of volcano-tectonics at all scales.
processes that determine every aspect of volcanic activity on many
bodies of our solar system. Such volcano-tectonic processes have
become an increasingly important focus of volcanological study. This
session aims to provide a forum for discussion and further integration
of diverse approaches to the study of volcano-tectonics at all scales.
Topics for discussion include, but are not limited to: 1) the relative
contribution of plate tectonics to the origin of various types of
volcanic systems on different planets; 2) the control of
regional-tectonic structures and/or stresses on volcanic and magmatic
activity; 3) the relationships of rheology and stress state to the
onset of fracturing, intrusion, and eruption; 4) the coupled growth of
volcanic plumbing systems and crustal deformation, and; 5) the roles
of geometric variability or mechanical heterogeneity in the structural
evolution of various types of volcanic edifices.

Contributions addressing such issues from the perspectives of
planetary geology, remote sensing, geodesy, field geology, geophysics
and, experimental and numerical modeling are invited. Descriptions of
features that could be described as volcanoes on one planet, but not
so in a different planetary environment are also encouraged.
