Collapse Calderas Workshop & Course
************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
The First Circular, Registration Information and Accommodation Options are now available at http://staff.aist.go.jp/geshi-nob/CCC for the 3nd International Course on Collapse Calderas, December 5-7, 2014, & 5th International Workshop on Collapse Calderas, December 7-11, 2014, Taupo, New Zealand, with a theme of ‘Caldera Volcanism and Society’. This is part of the continuing series of meetings arranged by the IAVCEI Commission on Collapse Calderas.
The Course and Workshop, like at previous meetings, will be devoted to understanding many different aspects of calderas. There will be four broad themes: 1. Physical Setting and Volcanology (including: volcano-tectonic setting, formation, structure, deposits; eruption processes; subsidence): 2. Magma processes (including: anatomy of plutonic magma systems; plutonic/volcanic relationships); 3. Resources related to calderas (including: geothermal activity; mineralisation; water; environmental issues); 4. Unrest (including: timescales of caldera formation; monitoring techniques; the effects of eruptions on infrastructure).
The Course will be open to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and will involve tuition on the 4 themes of the Workshop. It will comprise 2 days of tuition and a 1 day field trip (jointly with Workshop participants). The course will be limited to ~20 students. The Workshop will comprise 3 days in the field, largely around the Taupo and Rotorua calderas, and 2 days of oral and poster sessions. Thematic discussions are planned at regular intervals during both the presentations and field trips. Dates have been chosen to precede the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco, which is scheduled for December 15-19, 2014.
