******************************************************************************************** Announcing the 'new' IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism From: "Amanda Hintz" <arl6@xxxxxxxxxxx> ******************************************************************************************** Dear Volcano Community, We are happy to announce that the ‘IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism’ has established a Group under the VHub (Collaborative volcano research and risk mitigation) server (http://vhub.org/) in order to better facilitate online collaboration and communication. “The main goal of the new IAVCEI commission, Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism (CMV) is to provide a forum for researchers to define and understand the phenomenon of small volume magmatic systems and their surface expression as volcanic fields. The CMV’s aim is to take a leading role in facilitating and coordinating and focusing research and research outputs regarding monogenetic volcanism. We will also assist research community in the development and refinement of a set of ‘standards’ as well as working towards a unified, collaborative model of monogenetic volcanism.” We invite you to join to the IAVCEI CMV and participate in the development of the IAVCEI CMV group site by; Actively taking part in group discussions. Publishing blogs related to monogenetic volcanism (e.g. musings, fieldwork, conferences, fieldtrips or workshops you have attended). Informing other members about relevant activities and events pertaining to monogenetic volcanism. Sharing data in the form of depositing publications, maps, reference materials, conference information you think the community would be happy to see. You can join to the IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism Group via the following link: https://vhub.org/groups/iavcei_cmv If you intend to provide and share data or resources with the community, you must first be a VHub member. Click the “Register” button in the upper right-hand corner, fill out the required information, and follow the link sent to the email address you provide to confirm membership. Once you are a member, select the “Resources” tab on the left side of the screen under the IAVCEI CMV group’s homepage, then follow the easy step-by-step process. You can choose three levels of security of your uploaded items depending on how broadly you wish to have your item visible by others. To maintain the work, discussion and data sharing for ‘Members’ of the Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism Group, please choose the medium level of security. We also recommend that you tag your uploaded items using ‘IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism’ in addition to any other relevant tags for easier and faster identification of the material related to IAVCEI CMV. To get started….we invite you to share your views on monogenetic volcanism in the “What does 'monogenetic' mean to you?” discussion topic. We especially encourage our young researchers and student members to participate in what we hope will be a great learning and networking experience. Please also do not forget the “4th International Maar Conference: A Multidisciplinary Congress on Monogenetic Volcanism” will be held in Auckland (New Zealand), 20-24 February 2012. The conference is a major scientific event supported by the IAVCEI Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism and welcomes all relevant contributions. Abstract submission and registration are open until 1st November 2011.
