Volcanoes at GSA 2010: New MGPV Division
From: Cathy Busby <cathy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
****************************************************************************************
Dear Volcano Listserv Colleagues,
Please come to GSA in Denver (October 31 – November 3) for the kickoff to the new MGPV Division at GSA (Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology and Volcanology).
Abstracts due by August 10 http://www.geosociety.org/meetings/2010/techprog.htm
AND PLEASE JOIN THE MGPV DIVISION. We just started it this year and are already nearing 1,000 members. Volcanologists who join will find a more geologic network than most other societies provide.
Chair (2010) James S. Beard, First Vice-Chair Cathy J. Busby, Second Vice-Chair Russell Harmon, Secretary-Treasurer J. Alexander Speer.
EVENTS INCLUDE:
A Supersession in Honor of Peter Lipman: The Geology of Major Continental Volcanic Belts and Fields:
Sunday Afternoon, October 31, 2010, 4 hour session.
The new MGPV Division of GSA will present its first Distinguished Geologic Career Award to Peter Lipman, with citation by Professor Olivier Bachman. Dr. Lipman will deliver a 45 minute keynote lecture, "Southern Rocky Mountain cookbook for the making of large ignimbrite eruptions". This will be followed by an international roster of speakers, presenting 30-minute geologic overviews of some of Earth's major volcanic belts, including the Chilean Andes, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, the Basin and Range, the Sierra Madre Occidental, Taupo Volcanic Zone, Kamchatka, and the Columbia River Basalt Group (by Reinaldo Charrier, Luca Ferrari, Christopher D Henry, Vera Ponomareva, Stephen Self and Pilar Villamor).

A SAMPLER OF VOLCANOLOGY & RELATED TOPICAL SESSIONS (in addition to discipline sessions):
Explosive volcanism across the solar system
Tectonic controls on volcanism: geologic perspectives
Volcanic and landscape evolution of the Jemez Mountains volcanic field
Impact cratering: from the lab to the field, from the Earth to the planets
Magmatic and tectonic history of southwestern Alaska
Rifting, magmatism and sedimentation: processes and responses in continental lithospheric breakup
Controls and consequences of continental rifting: from heat flow, stress, and strain to magmatism, landscape-basin evolution, and development of natural resources
Frontiers in experimental petrology: A session in honor of Robert C. Newton, 2010 MSA Roebling Medalist
Frontiers in geochemistry: Kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical reactions in earth
environments through integrated field, experimental and theoretical studies
Accessory minerals as monitors of magmatic processes: New ideas, applications, and pitfalls
Improvements in geochronology and time scale calibration
Field geology on other planets: An emerging science
Planetary exploration through remote compositional analysis – The GK Gilbert award session
Proterozoic crustal evolution of southern Laurentia: Tectonic settings, petrology, geochmistry and geochronology
Initiation and termination of subduction: Rock record, geodynamic models, modern plate boundaries
See you there!
