GeoMod 2014 meeting: Session on "Volcanoes and volcanotectonics"
From: Olivier Galland <olivier.galland@xxxxxxxxxx>GeoMod 2014 meeting: Session on "Volcanoes and volcanotectonics"
************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the coming GeoMod 2014 meeting. GeoMod2014 will take place at Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences from 31 August to 3 September 2014 (see attachment).
Of particular interest will be a session on "Volcanoes and Volcanotectonics":
Conveners: Olivier Galland (U Oslo), Eoghan Holohan (GFZ);
Volcanic plumbing systems evolve through the interaction of numerous processes governing the ascent, emplacement, and eruption of magma. A full physical understanding of sub-volcanic and volcanic processes faces stimulating challenges. For instance (1) magma transport through the Earth’s crust is not only governed by the mechanical behaviour of the magma or of the host rock, but also by the complex interplay between them. In addition, (2) magma eruption is governed by the complex rheology of the magma and multiphase flows involving gas, liquid and solid phases, with sometimes moving conduit walls. Advanced and quantitative experimental, numerical, and theoretical modelling techniques are thus crucial to unravel these challenging and exciting processes. The Volcanotectonic and Volcanic Processes Session of this GeoMod 2014 international meeting aims to bring together laboratory, numerical and theoretical modellers studying the complex processes governing the mechanics of magma/ host rock systems, and volcanic eruptions.
SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
GeoMod is a biennial conference dedicated to latest results and methods of analogue and numerical modelling of solid Earth processes, including mantle dynamics, tectonics, rock rheology, and volcanic processes.
At GeoMod2014 we will focus on rheology and deformation at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales: from earthquakes to long-term deformation, from micro-structures to orogens and subduction systems, as well as volcanotectonics and volcanic processes, and the interaction between tectonics and surface processes.
