************************************************************************************** VOLCANO: IUGG 2011 Session: V14 Monogenetic Volcanism: Magma Sources, Ascent and Eruption From: Greg Valentine <gav4@xxxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************************************** We encourage researchers to submit abstracts for the following symposium at the IUGG Conference, 28 June-7 July 2011, Melbourne, Australia. IUGG Symposium: Monogenetic Volcanism: Magma Sources, Ascent and Eruption Lead Convenors: Greg Valentine (United States of America), Shane Cronin (New Zealand), Karoly Nemeth (New Zealand), Adrian Pittari (New Zealand), Berndt Zimanowski (Germany) Scope: Monogenetic volcanoes, which commonly occur in volcanic fields, are receiving increasing attention within the research community. Because of their relative simplicity (compared to polygenetic volcanoes, for example), monogenetic volcanoes provide important insights into magma generation and collection at depth, ascent dynamics, and controls on eruption styles and the potential relationships between these processes. In addition to their value for basic research, monogenetic volcanoes and their host volcanic fields play important roles in hazard and risk assessments for many urban areas and critical facilities around the world. This symposium invites contributions related to the full range of processes associated with monogenetic volcanoes and their hazards. Focused topics include: magma generation and collection in intraplate settings, magma source characteristics, ascent rates and plumbing geometries, crustal storage and magma evolution during ascent, volatile contents and degassing, controls on magmatic and phreatomagmatic eruptive styles, relationships between pyroclastic activity and lava effusion, lava flow field development, the geomorphic expression and degradation processes associated with monogenetic volcanoes, spatial-temporal controls on location and timing of monogenetic events, and hazard and risk assessments for monogenetic volcanic fields. In particular, we encourage presentations that explore the linkages between these processes. Abstracts are due 17 January 2011.
