IUGG 2011 Session Reminder: V13 Understanding Big Volcanic Systems
From: Scott Bryan <scott.bryan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Dear colleagues,
A final reminder for abstract submissions to the session on "Understanding Big Volcanic Systems" (V13).
The abstract deadline is February 1 for the conference, which will be held in Melbourne, Australia, 28 June - 7 July,
2011.
Session Scope: What makes some volcanic systems big? Do their behaviours differ fundamentally from those of smaller volcanic systems, or are they just scaled-up versions? Are they longer-lived? Do they share
fundamental features or processes with one another? Eruptions of all sizes and a huge range of compositions are known from big volcanic systems. Some erupt almost continuously, others apparently only in vast eruptions separated by thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Shield volcanoes comprise some of earth's tallest mountains, while calderas are holes in the ground, and LIPs produce lava plains and ignimbrite plateaux. This symposium seeks to bring together work on all types of big volcanic systems, and all aspects of those systems
from magma production, periodicity of delivery, storage and transport to the surface, to the range of volcanic landforms, structures, and deposits resulting from their eruptions.
Convenors: James White, Jo Gottsman, Joan Marti, Guido Giordano, Scott Bryan
Keynote Speakers: Sverre Planke, Dougal Jerram
Come to the IUGG Conference, 28 June-7 July 2011, Melbourne, Australia.
