*What is the Workshop on Collapse Calderas?
The IAVCEI Collapse Calderas Commission (CCC; http://www.gvb-csic.es/CCC.htm)
was created in 2008 to have a wider and deeper understanding on
calderas. It includes caldera geology, geodesy and geophysics,
modelling, magma chamber processes, volcanic hazard and risk management,
economic benefits and environmental research. CCC promotes
interdisciplinary interaction to help solve the many questions regarding
the formation, evolution and affect on society of collapse calderas.
Previous meetings were held at Tenerife, Canarias, (2005), Mexican
Volcanic Belt (2008) and Reunion (2010).
*Venue
The
4th Workshop on Collapse Calderas is scheduled for September 23-29,
2012, at Hotel Royal in Bolsena, Central Italy. Bolsena is a medieval
village on the edge of Bolsena Caldera, that is the most distinctive
feature of the Vulsini Calderas District, 100 km north of Rome. The
Vulsini District is a worldwide famous type-locality, where many
fundamental concepts on the eruptive dynamics, particularly those
related to caldera-forming events, have been proposed.
*Workshop outline
The
workshop is devoted at understanding the different aspects related to
calderas, including the structure and development, erupted products and
eruptive history, unrest episodes, magmatic processes, geodetic,
geophysical and geochemical signature, mathematical and analogue models,
as well as the related economic and environmental research. The
workshop includes 2 days of scientific meeting, with oral and poster
sessions, and 3 days of field trip at Bolsena, Latera and Vico calderas.
The
scientific meeting is based on 5 sessions; each session includes, but
is not restricted to, several first-order topics, on which the workshop
is expected to provide constraints:
1) Caldera context and structure
2) Caldera formation and evolution
3) Caldera deposits
4) Caldera magmatic processes
5) Caldera unrest
Each
session is introduced by a keynote lecture, followed by selected oral
presentations, shorter posters presentations and a final discussion of
the state of the art.
The field trips at Bolsena, Latera and
Vico calderas are devoted at illustrating their structure, eruptive
products and relationships, with the participation of distinguished
volcanologists who have been working in the area, including: Bruno
Capaccioni (University of Bologna), Ray Cas (Monash University,
Australia) Raffaello Cioni (University of Cagliari), Donatella de Rita
(University Roma Tre), Mario Gaeta (University La Sapienza Roma), Guido
Giordano (University Roma Tre), Patrizia Landi (INGV Pisa), Giovanni
Nappi (University of Urbino), Danilo M. Palladino (University La
Sapienza Roma), Alberto Renzulli (University of Urbino), Mauro Rosi
(University of Pisa), Raffaello Trigila (University La Sapienza Roma)
and Luigina Vezzoli (University Insubria, Como).
Thematic informal discussions are planned in the evenings.
*Costs
The
fee for participants to the workshop is 730 euros. It includes
transportation from Rome to Bolsena (on the 23rd) and from Bolsena to
Roma (on the 29th), all meals and accommodation in double rooms from the
evening of the 23rd to the morning of the 29th (6 nights), the
ice-breaker party, 3 days of excursions, the registration to the
meeting, the abstract volume and the field-trip guidebook. Limited
financial support is available for young scientists motivating their
request in a letter when submitting the abstract (to: acocella@xxxxxxxxxxx).
* Deadlines
The
workshop is limited to 60 participants, with a first-come, first-served
basis. We recommend to register as soon as possible, and not to wait
for the deadline, to assure your participation to this event.
