Dear Potential Participants,

The organisation of the 5th International Maar Conference (sponsored by the IAVCEI Commissions on Monogenetic Volcanism, Volcanic Lakes and Volcanogenic Sediments and will be held in Queretaro, Mexico, November 17-22, 2014) is on the way.

Here we would like to draw your attention on the fact that 5IMC will be a conference intends to invite researchers working on any aspects of monogenetic volcanism. Please consider to present your latest results in the

Session 3

Monogenetic volcanic fields: Structural and tectonic settings, causes of magmatic and phreato-magmatic activity

Conveners:

Karoly Nemeth (K.Nemeth@xxxxxxxxxxxx)

Monogenetic volcanism produces small-volume volcanoes with a wide range of eruptive styles and geomorphic architectures. They are traditionally defined as spatter cones, scoria (or cinder) cones, tuff rings, maars (maar-diatremes) and tuff cones based on the dominant eruption styles forming them and consequently their typical surface morphotypes. Recent research on monogenetic volcanism and the resultant landforms indicates that the genetic diversity imprinted in the pyroclastic records of monogenetic volcanoes are strongly influenced by the “competition” between physico-chemical factors related to the erupting magma (internal factors) and conditions independent from the magma itself and externally controlling the style of eruptions (external factors). It seems that there is a well-defined relationship between the relative roles of these internal versus external forces. While monogenetic volcanoes are normally small in edifice, magma and total deposit volume they are commonly unexpectedly complex volcanoes.

This session invites presentations that concern these fundamental questions of monogenetic volcanism. We are particularly interested in examples of the volcanic evolution of individual monogenetic volcanoes as well as the spatial and temporal evolution of monogenetic fields as a whole. Studies that integrate geochemistry with eruptive behavior are especially welcome, as are presentations that address the relationship between tectonic setting, both local and regional, and the occurrence of monogenetic volcanoes.
