[Apologies for multiple postings]
********************************************************
Only four days remain before the session proposal deadline for the Fall 2013 Meeting in San Francisco (Dec. 9-13). Many topics are not represented by the session proposals that have been uploaded thus far. Ensure your topic is represented by submitting a session proposal!
*********************************************************
Special sessions bring together specialists from diverse areas of VGP, promote interdisciplinary research, and facilitate the debate of controversial topics. You can flag your session as being amenable to co-sponsorship with MSA or EGU-GMPV, which will attract even more attention to your session. Successful session proposals are engaging and inclusive. Savvy proposers know: narrowly defined sessions may not attract enough abstracts to merit an oral slot!
To submit a proposal, go to http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/. Click on the orange "Propose Session" box, and follow the instructions.
You can view the sessions that have already been proposed from the same page, using the Abstract Central interface. Click on the "Search" tab at left (it may appear grayed out, but it is an active link).
Topics of intense recent interest include:
• Early Earth
• Deep carbon
• High-pressure and ultra-high pressure processes
• Mantle dynamics
• Magma generation
• Hot spot volcanism
• Magma rheology
• Intrusive-extrusive connection
• Volatiles in magmas (degassing, degassing-driven crystallization, post-eruption modification)
• Petrologic insights to volcanic processes
• Arc volcanism
• Submarine and subglacial volcanism
• Eruption processes (caldera formation, cyclic behavior, Vulcanian style, etc.)
• Geothermal systems
• Fluid-rock interaction
Alternatively, sessions focus on technological innovations that lead discovery, such as:
• Geochronology and tephrochronology
• Compositional or textural microanalysis
• Isotope mass spectrometry
• Volcano monitoring
• Geologic mapping
Sessions that link VGP to other sections or focus groups, e.g. biogeochemistry, cosmochemistry, deep interior processes, mineral physics, etc. are also welcome. Early career scientists are encouraged to broaden their professional networks and propose sessions in partnership with established leaders.
The session proposal deadline is April 19.
