Dear colleagues,

We wish to encourage you to present your latest research at our session

"Extraterrestrial volcanism and tectonics -
from geological mapping and chronostratigraphy to experiment/modelling and analogue studies"

at the European Geosciences Union 2013, April 7-12, in Vienna.

Abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 9 January. Please also note that the deadline for support applications is Friday, 30 November.


A detailed session description is given below. Our invited speakers are Taras Gerya (ETH Zürich) and Christopher Hamilton (Goddard Space Flight Center).

We look forward to meeting you in Vienna.
(and apologies for multiple postings)

Best wishes
Matteo Massironi, Pascal Allemand, Paul Byrne, Harald Hiesinger & Thomas Platz

PS9.2/GMPV37/TS1.3
Extraterrestrial volcanism and tectonics - from geological mapping and chronostratigraphy to experiment/modelling and analogue studies


Convener: Thomas Platz
Co-Conveners: Matteo Massironi, Pascal Allemand, Paul Byrne, Harald Hiesinger

Volcanic and tectonic processes have profoundly shaped the surface of terrestrial planets and satellites. This session aims to compile all facets of volcanism, tectonics, and associated interactions observed in our solar system. By providing a forum for a broad range of discussions, these observations and interpretations will be investigated and reviewed in the light of our current understanding of related processes on Earth. Comparative studies and work on active volcanic/tectonic systems on Earth using multi-instrumental, remotely sensed, experimental, computational, and field data are welcome.
The session will address, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- geomorphology of volcanic edifices, deposits, vents, and fissures
- volcano-tectonic deformation and edifice growth and collapse
- tectonic structures, faulting, and fracturing processes
- intrusion processes, geometry, and associated faulting
- crustal stress and strain analysis
- volcaniclastic deposits and their implications for eruptive styles, rates, and frequency
- composition (spectral, meteoritic, etc.) and rheology of lava flows
- volatile release through eruptions and its impact on atmospheres
- melt generation, lava extrusion, and crustal deformation caused by large impactors
- cryovolcanism, mudvolcanism, and other comparative processes
- mapping planetary surfaces utilising a variety of remote sensing data and techniqures
- crater dating of geological units
