Session 18: New advances of understanding physical volcanology
processes in the Carpathian-Balkan Region from a global perspective
Conveners: Karoly Nemeth (NZ) & Zoltan Pecskay (HU)


The Carpathian-Balkan Region is a perfect site where young and active
volcanism co-exists with older volcanic terrains that were formed in a
strikingly similar way to their active, younger counterparts. This
scenario makes the Carpathian-Balkan Region a perfect playground to
study, compare, and advance our knowledge of the volcanic processes
that generated a broad range of volcanic landforms, volcanosedimentary
environments and associated ore mineralizations. This unique nature of
the Carpathian-Balkan Region manifested in the past decade in elevated
research activity focused on understanding the physical volcanology of
various volcanic systems from intra-continental to subduction related
tectonic settings. The proximity in both age and space of various
volcanoes, their erosional remnants as well as volcanogenic
sediment-filled basins in such a diverse environment ranging from
submarine, lacustrine to continental realms provide an exceptional
location from which to understand physical volcanology processes in
general. In this session we invite papers on physical volcanology
research primarily based on examples located in the Carpathian-Balkan
Region, as well as research that has relevance, similarity or recent or
ancient analogy from elsewhere in the World that could be applied
directly to volcanic systems in the Carpathian-Balkan Region. This
session also calls for presentations on theoretical approaches for
understanding the physics of explosive volcanism, analogue and
numerical modelling of volcanic mass flow processes, their natural
hazard implications, quantifying sedimentary budgets in
volcano-dominated sedimentary basins and geochronological methods
developed, trialled in or compared with volcanic systems of the
Carpathian-Balkan Region. This session will officially be supported by
the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth
Interior's Commission on Volcanogenic Sediments and Commission on
Monogenetic Volcanism. Full length research articles are encouraged to
be submitted to the Special Volume entitled as "New advances of
understanding physical volcanology processes in the Carpathian-Balkan
Region from a global perspective" of the Central European Journal of
Geosciences (Versita/Springer) by 30 April 2010 (http://www.cejg.editool.com/)

.

Relevant, full length research papers are accepted to be submitted to the Central European Journal of Geosciences (Versita/Springer) - http://versita.com/science/geosciences/cejg/ not later than 30 April 2010.
The CEJG journal volume will be published by the CBGA congress late September 2010.
