IUGG 2011 Session Reminder: V17 Planetary Volcanism
From: "Giovanni Leone" <leone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*******************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
This is just one last reminder about the IUGG session that might be of
interest to volcanologists. The abstract deadline is February 1 for the
conference, which will be held in Melbourne, Australia, 28 June - 7 July,
2011. We encourage abstract submissions for the following session:
IUGG Symposium: Planetary Volcanism: what's different out there, what's
new, and what are we learning?
Lead Convenors: Giovanni Leone (United Kingdom), Tracey Gregg (United States
of America), Ellen Stofan, Suzanne Smrekar (United States of America),
Ashley Davies (United States of America)
Scope: This session will focus on state of the art and new views and
concepts concerning the volcanic processes occurring across the Solar
System. From cryovolcanism on Titan, Europa, and Enceladus to active
explosive volcanism on Earth and Io, from relatively recent lavas on Venus
to older volcanic edifices on Mars and basaltic plains on Mercury and the
Moon, and even plutonic intrusions on asteroid 4 Vesta, volcanism is
widespread and exhibits different eruptive styles. Data returned from many
spacecraft have shown a wealth of different volcanic landforms shaped by the
peculiar environmental conditions at the time of their formation where
gravity, role of volatiles, magma compositions, and different atmospheric
pressures played and play a fundamental role. Geological histories,
morphological studies and numerical modelling can yield important
constraints to better understand planetary volcanism in view of the common
and different processes occurring on Earth. Comparative volcanology with an
interdisciplinary approach is the best way to achieve such a goal.
