Announcing AIV International Summer School in Volcanology

Dear All,
on behalf of the Italian Association for Volcanology (AIV), we are pleased to announce the 2013 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL IN VOLCANOLOGY on THE EXPLOSIVE VOLCANISM OF ALKALINE-MAFIC MAGMAS.
This activity is endorsed by the Commission on Explosive Volcanism of IAVCEI. The School will be held near Roma, in Frascati, 25-29 september 2013.
Rationale: Explosive volcanism of low viscosity, alkaline and mafic magmas challenges current understanding of mechanisms of magma extraction, volatile exsolution, fragmentation and dispersal of tephra. The school aims at presenting the most recent achievements of current research and to show the variety of approaches as well as interpretations, promoting the open discussion among researchers and students around the several themes presently subject of a lively scientific debate, such as melt generation and transport, the location and structure of the magma reservoir, the origin of volatiles and particularly of CO2, and their role in the explosivity of low viscosity magmas, eruption styles and caldera collapse.
Invited speakers: K. Cashman (University of Bristol); C. Chiarabba (INGV Roma), G. Chiodini (INGV Napoli), S. Conticelli (Università di Firenze), M.L. Frezzotti (Università di Siena), N. Geshi (Japan Geological Survey), M. Menzies (Royal Holloway), L. Pioli (Université de Genève), S. Poli (Università di Milano), R. Scandone, C. Romano and A. Vona (Università Roma Tre)
Schedule: 25 arrival, 26 and 27 lectures, 28 field excursion to the Colli Albani volcano mafic ignimbrites, 29 lectures and departure
Target: Graduate and Ph.D. students, Post-docs and young researchers in volcanology
Location: Frascati, Centro Giovanni XXIII
Min-max n. of participants 20-30
Fees: 450 euros, which include 4 nights, half-board (breakfast, lunch) accommodation on a double-room basis, coffee breaks, 2 dinners
Important dates: June 15th, early registration (payment details will be given at that time); July 15th, final registration
Poster Presentations are welcome and will be discussed during the school
