EGU session GMPV4.10/GM2.7
From: "Dávid Karátson" <dkarat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************
last year it was a great success to organize the first specific volcanic
geomorphology session at 2011 EGU Vienna. It deserved both an oral and
poster block thanks to the valuable contributions of several authors from
many countries.
This year we intend to organize the same session GMPV4.10 co-listed with
GM2.7 (New methods and concepts in volcanic geomorphology) as we are
convinced that there are still plenty of new information, methods,
techniques and results on volcanoes, their landforms, surface processes,
and relations to tectonic and geographic setting, lithology, climate, and
even society.
Therefore, we would like to encourage you to submit an abstract either as
an oral or a poster presentation via
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/session/9367 .
The deadline for abstract submission is 17th January 2012. In addition, the
deadline of applications for financial support is 15th December, and the
type of requested support can be indicated simply on the abstract
submission form.
Brief description of the session:
The recent years have seen the onset of applications of new and emerging
techniques of remote sensing, geoinformatics, geomorphometry, numerical
modelling as well as dating techniques and experimental methods in volcanic
geomorphology. This wealth of data is about to be integrated on various
scales of volcanic edifices scaling from large stratovolcanoes down to
scoria cones and other volcanic features.
New results in volcanic edifice evolution on various time scales offer
insight to rates of degradation, evolution of drainage systems of volcanic
cones and age patterns of the surface. Climatic influence, lithological
control, tectonic influence and the initial geomorphic pattern of volcanic
field may complicate the evolution of the volcano-geomorphic setting.
This session aims at integration of knowledge in the aforementioned fields
providing opportunity to exchange experience and to formulate new research
questions for the research community.
The session includes topics such as
- new results, most recent outcomes of process-oriented volcanic
geomorphology: improved classification of volcanic landforms and their
evolutionary stages, with respect to tectonic and geographic setting,
lithology, climate;
- time-space patterns and rates of growth and destruction of volcanic
landforms and landscapes;
- new methods on how volcanic landforms, landscapes, and their evolution
can be studied: field methods, laboratory (experimental) methods, DEM-based
morphometry, morphometric modelling.
