************************************************************************************************************************** Call for papers: William Smith meeting on the remote sensing of volcanoes & volcanic processes From: David Pyle <David.Pyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************************************************************************** Dear Colleagues Just a reminder that registration is open for the 2011 William Smith meeting of the Geological Society, London, on the "Remote sensing of volcanoes & volcanic processes: integrating observation & modelling". This two day meeting will be held at the Geological Society in London, 4-5 October 2011. In addition to our keynote speakers (listed below), we have slots available for talks on any of the themes relevant to the meeting. So please, do consider submitting an abstract for the meeting, or contributing a paper to the Special Publication of the Geological Society which we will produce after the meeting. Keynote speakers Professor Paul Segall (Stanford University) - William Smith lecturer Professor Kathy Cashman (University of Oregon and University of Bristol) Dr Fred Prata (Norwegian Institute for Air Research) Dr Mike Burton (Instituto Nazionale di Geofisica a Vulcanologia, Pisa) Professor Tony Watts (University of Oxford) Professor Kathy Whaler (University of Edinburgh) Professor Matt Pritchard (Cornell University) Further details and registration here: http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/gsl/events/listings/williamsmith2011 The aim of this meeting is to bring together people from the remote sensing communities with those involved in the modeling and field observations of volcanic systems – whether active, or dormant; on land, or under the sea – in order to stimulate new interactions, and identify promising new directions. Each of these fields are growing rapidly: new satellite sensors and retrieval methods have opened up a number of remote-sensing tools (for detecting volcano deformation and measuring volcanic heat and gas emissions) which are now semi-automated and, in some cases, available on a daily basis. New sets of ground-based measurement techniques are yielding abundant high-frequency datastreams from active volcanoes, with many opportunities to merge observations with models. While models for volcano behaviour are advancing, what constraints do the new results from geodesy, field observation and geochemistry place on these models? We really hope to see you there David Pyle, Tamsin Mather and Juliet Biggs -- Professor David Pyle Department of Earth Sciences University of Oxford South Parks Road Oxford OX1 3AN UK Tel: (+44) 01865 272048 Homepage: http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/pyle ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxx.
