AGU Chapman conference on Hawaiian volcanism, August 20-24, 2012
From: Michael P Poland <mpoland@xxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************
We are pleased to announce that abstract submissions are now being accepted for the AGU Chapman conference “Hawaiian volcanism, from source to surface,” to be held on the Island of Hawaii during August 20-24, 2012.
The goal of the conference is to discuss the current state-of-the-art in understanding of Hawaiian volcanism and to identify the most pressing needs for future research, while also stimulating new research collaborations on Hawai‘i and similar volcanic systems. Conference sessions will focus on the topics of magma origin and ascent (“below the volcano”), magma storage and island evolution (“in the volcano”), and volcanic eruptions and degassing (“on and above the volcano”). Discussions will be focused around invited plenary talks, contributed plenary talks, poster presentations, and breakout sessions for small group interaction. The middle day of the meeting will be occupied by field trips around the Island of Hawai‘i.
The symposium is intended to be of interest to Earth scientists of all disciplines who research any aspect of Hawaiian or similar volcanoes. In particular, the conference should be of special value to geoscientists who study mantle geochemistry/physics/dynamics; mantle plumes and hotspots; magma storage and transport; magma ascent; degassing and eruptions; and ocean island evolution.
The abstract deadline is April 19, 2012, and registration will open shortly thereafter. The meeting will be held at the Marriott Waikoloa Beach Resort on the west side of the Island of Hawai‘i. Additional information, including abstract submission details, can be found at http://www.agu.org/meetings/chapman/2012/dcall/.
We are also seeking travel support, particularly for students and early career scientists. If you wish to be considered for support, applications are available on the conference Web site and must be submitted by April 19.
If you have any questions about the conference, feel free to contact the conveners or program committee.
Mahalo, and we hope to see you in Hawai‘i this August!
