***************************************************************************************** EGU 2010 Session: GMPV12 Glaciovolcanism as a climate proxy: progress and problems From: "John Smellie" <jls55@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ***************************************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, We would like to remind you about session GMPV12 on " Glaciovolcanism as a climate proxy: progress and problems", to be convened at the EGU General Assembly, 2-7 May 2010 (Vienna, Austria). The deadline for receipt of abstracts is looming (18 January) and we encourage you to contribute. 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 Please pass this information on to colleagues and students working in this field. We apologize for any multiple posting and look forward to meeting many of 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. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
