CVII session, EGU, May 2010 Glaciovolcanism as a climate proxy: progress and problems
From: "John L Smellie" <jlsm@xxxxxxxxx>
************************************************************************************
Dear Colleague,
We would like to draw your attention to session GMPV12 on " Glaciovolcanism as a climate proxy: progress and problems" at the EGU General Assembly, 2-7 May 2010 (Vienna, Austria) and encourage you to contribute an abstract.
Information about the General Assembly and guidelines regarding abstract format, submission and oral/poster presentations are available on the Assembly Web Site: http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2010
Deadline for financial support application is 4 December 2009.
Deadline for receipt of abstracts is 18 January 2010.
The session is organized by Ben Edwards and John Smellie.
Please pass this information on to colleagues and students working in this field.
We apologize for any multiple posting and look forward to meeting you in Vienna.
With our best wishes,
Ben Edwards and John Smellie
Glaciovolcanism as a climate proxy: progress and problems
This session seeks contributions that present field, analytical and/or theoretical studies using glaciovolcanism as a climate or environmental proxy. We especially encourage contributions describing new isotopic dating methods or protocols that can yield sub-glacial-cycle age-precision for Miocene to Pleistocene eruptions, particularly for basalts; new and/or improved compositional proxies that can identify a glacial eruptive setting; examples of palaeo-ice thickness estimates from field and/or volatile measurements; and results of well-developed palaeoenvironmental case studies, including studies of erosional histories that document extent of edifice modification by post-eruption glaciations. By showcasing these field- and laboratory-based advances at EGU, we hope to raise the profile and further establish the application of glaciovolcanism as a mainstream palaeoclimatic proxy methodology of similar credibility and utility as more orthodox methods, such as studies of glacig!
enic sediments.
