*****************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to an exciting session dedicated to mud volcanism at the upcoming Joint Assembly between the American Geophysical Union (AGU-West Pacific) and the Asia Oceania Geoscience Society (AOGS) to be held on Sentosa Island (Singapore) this August 13th to 17th.

"The LUSI mud volcano (Sidoarjo, Indonesia): the view from 6 years on" (SE 103) is aimed at the scientific community with an interest in the LUSI mud volcano and mud volcanism in general. Researchers with an interest in all aspects of mud volcanism (e.g., architecture of mud volcanoes, sub-surface imaging, deformation, eruption dynamics, geochemistry, societal and environmental impact, remote sensing, etc.) are invited to contribute and circulate this announcement among colleagues.
Follow this link for abstract submission instructions:

Session description:
The LUSI mud volcano, near Sidoarjo (Indonesia), has been erupting mud flows in a densely populated area of East Java since May 2006 at peak mud eruption rates of 180,000 m3/d, destroying houses and infrastructures and forcing the relocation of ~40,000 people. As we approach the 6th anniversary of the eruption, mud is still being erupted at rates of ~20,000 m3/d in periodic explosions separated by quiescent intervals lasting a few minutes. The session invites all contributions related to the study of LUSI and other mud volcanoes. In particular, presentations related to the monitoring of mud volcano activity, sub-surface imaging techniques, ground deformation, geochemistry of erupted products, computer modeling and longevity of eruptions, eruption cyclicity, regional tectonic context, and impacts of mud volcanism on populations and the environment would be welcomed.
