Symposium: GMPV –
Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology
Session: GMPV4.11 “Spatio-temporal evolution of volcanic systems:
the importance of geochronology”
Convener: Aurélie Germa,
University of South Florida (USA); germa_aurelie82@xxxxxxxx
Co-conveners, Xavier
Quidelleur (Université Paris-Sud 11, France, xavier.quidelleur@xxxxxxxxx) and Ralf
Gertisser (Keele University, UK, r.gertisser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
Age determinations are critical
to understand the evolution in space and time of a given volcano, in that they
contribute to constrain the timing of eruptive events. By linking geochronology
and geochemistry, we can gain an improved understanding of the processes
operating all along the history of a given volcano, from source to surface.
Integration of ages with geomorphology allow to identify any possible
periodicity of volcanic episodes and estimate volcanic output rates and erosion
rates, which are important factors to take into account for hazard assessment.
This session aims at bringing
together state-of-the-art dating methods (radiogenic isotopes, paleomagnetism,
stratigraphy …), spanning scales from mineral to outcrop, to constrain the
history of volcanic systems. We invite presentations targeting theory,
methodology, recent improvements, range of effectiveness (time, scale),
quantitative and qualitative studies, statistics, field and laboratory
investigations, new approaches and applications to volcanology (mapping, hazard
assessment…).
You may submit the text of
your contribution as plain text, LaTeX, or MS Word content. Please pay attention
to the First Author Rule as described at: http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2012/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html
The deadline for the receipt of
Abstracts is 17 Jan 2012.
