From: Giuseppe Puglisi <puglisi-g@xxxxxxxxxx>
**********************************************************************************************
Dear Colleague,
We would like to encourage you to contribute with a presentation to the session on "Volcano deformation, dynamics, and deep structure" (GMPV9/TS3.5) at the EGU Meeting, 02 – 07 May 2010, to be held in Vienna, Austria
(for details: http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2010/home.html).
This session, co-listed in the program of the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology (GMPV) and Tectonics & Structural Geology (TS) Divisions, embraces studies in Structural Geology, Tectonics, Volcanology and Petrology.
Deadline for financial support application is 04 Dec 2009.
Deadline for receipt of abstracts is 18 Jan 2010.
The conveners are Valerio Acocella (University Roma Tre, Italy), Agust Gudmundsson (Royal Halloway London, England), Giuseppe Puglisi (INGV Catania, 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, Thomas Walter

GMPV9/TS3.5
Volcano deformation, dynamics, and deep structure
Convener: Valerio Acocella
Co-Conveners: Giuseppe Puglisi , Agust Gudmundsson , Thomas Walter
The session Volcano deformation, dynamics, and deep structure deals with the documentation and modelling of the deformation, dynamics, and internal structure of volcanoes. The focus is on advancing our understanding of current deformation of active volcanoes through data and models as to their dynamic behaviour and internal structure. All types of surface deformation are of interest, including elastic inflation, deflation, as well as caldera and flank collapses. The dynamic behaviour includes stress measurements and modelling. As regards internal structure, topics of interest include near-surface parts, such as exposed in fault and caldera walls, as well as the deep roots and plumbing system of active and eroded volcanoes, as revealed through geophysical and geological studies. The loading conditions considered in this session include tectonic forces, magma, and gravity. Studies of both subaerial and submarine volcanic areas are welcome.
The principal aims are to understand how volcanoes deform, the associated dynamic behaviour, and the implications for hazards. We welcome contributions based on results from fieldwork, remote-sensing studies, geophysical and geodetic measurements, and analytical, analog, and numerical simulations.
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;
• flank collapse;
• volcano deformation and hazard mitigation.
