Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to attend the 2012 annual meeting of the Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group which will be held in Durham, UK on 4-6 January 2012 (www.vmsg2012.org). The VMSG meeting is the UK’s leading volcanology conference and we invite contributions from international colleagues as well as UK-based researchers.
The 2.5 day conference has 6 sessions as follows:
Themed session 1: Sources and reservoirs
Convenor: John Maclennan (Cambridge University)
Scope: Melt production, geochemistry, petrology, magma mingling, differentiation, crustal melting, metasomatism
Themed session 2: Magma in motion
Convenor: Mike James (Lancaster University)
Scope: Mobilization, rheology, conduits and dykes, gas separation and percolation, magmatic fluid dynamics, volcano seismology, geodesy
Themed session 3: Eruptions and emissions
Convenor: Sue Loughlin (BGS Edinburgh)
Scope: Eruption style, degassing, physical volcanology, plumes, tephra dispersal, flows and currents, gas chemistry, atmospheric effects, subaqueous/subglacial eruptions, volcaniclastic deposits
Themed session 4: Volcanoes and society
Convenor: Jenni Barclay (University of East Anglia)
Scope: Monitoring, hazard and risk, health, ash and aviation, resilience and response, mitigation, volcanoes and human history, volcanoes and culture
Research in progress
Convenor: TBA
Scope: All of the above. This session particularly welcomes contributions from PhD students who have not had the opportunity to present at a conference before.
VMSG Awardee Session: Advances in Research on the British/Irish Palaeogene Volcanic Province
Convenor: John Gamble (University College Cork)
Scope: Petrology, Geochemistry, Physical Volcanology, Tectonics and Geophysics, Interdisciplinary Research.
Description: Interdisciplinary research (e.g.the Tellus project in NE Ireland) has brought new ways of looking at the early Cenozoic volcanism in NW Britain and Ireland. The session looks to highlight new research and advances in this classic region.
Registration and abstract submission are now open with a deadline of 4 November 2011 for abstract submission and early-bird registration.
Please visit the VMSG conference website at www.vmsg2012.org for further information including the meeting programme, venue and accommodation details and for abstract submission and registration.
We look forward to welcoming you to Durham!
