GSA 2011 Session: T25 Recent Advances in Studies of Large-Volume Silicic Volcanism: Stratigraphy, Architecture, Evolution

Hello again,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the upcoming session *"Recent
Advances in Studies of Large-Volume Silicic Volcanism: Stratigraphy,
Architecture, Evolution" (T25)* at the GSA Annual Meeting in Minneapolis,
MN, 9th-12th October 2011. This session is co-sponsored by the GSA
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, and Volcanology Division, GSA
Structural Geology and Tectonics Division, and the Mineralogical Society of
America.
Voluminous silicic volcanism is a fundamental type of magmatic activity,
though its causes remain enigmatic. This session highlights all aspects of
large-volume silicic volcanism, emphasizing studies of volcanic field
architecture, eruptive styles, and spatial-temporal evolution. We are
particularly interested into the relationship(s) between large-volume
silicic volcanism and continental rifting. *We have the honor of welcoming
Ingrid Ukstins-Peate (Univ. of Iowa), Luca Ferrari (UNAM), and Richard
Hanson (TCU) as invited speakers.
*
We are very keen to solicit abstracts from students and early-career
researchers (like ourselves) and to see a diverse range of topics,
data-sets, and techniques represented.
The abstract submission site is now open [
http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2011AM/cfp.epl], and will close July 26th.

Minnesota–Duluth (emeritus), Terrence J. Boerboom, Thomas J. Fitz, and
Susanne T. Schmidt.
