AGU 2014. 2023 The Role Of Volcanism In Atmospheric Phenomena
****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a special session for the AGU Fall Meeting Dec 15-19, 2014:
The Role Of Volcanism In Atmospheric Phenomena
Session ID#: 2023
Session Description:
Volcanism is considered to have substantially contributed to the development of the atmosphere on early Earth. Volcanic eruptions relate to a number of atmospheric phenomena including lightning discharge, formation of hydrometeors, cloud/ice condensation, development of aerosols, and alteration of chemical compounds. Although these volcanic processes are relevant for modifying atmospheric dynamics, they are still poorly understood. In addition, atmospheric dynamics crucially contribute to the effects and hazards posed by volcanic eruptions, including transport, aggregation, and deposition mechanisms of volcanic aerosols and pyroclasts. This session focuses on studies that attempt to unite the fields of volcanism and atmospheric dynamics and the complex interplay between the two. We welcome contributions that utilize field observations, laboratory experiments, remote sensing, and modeling, focusing on the aforementioned phenomena and the influence that volcanic ash and gas emissions may have on modifying physical and chemical equilibria in the atmosphere.
The AGU abstract submission tool is now open. Abstracts are due no later than August 6, 2014. We hope that you will contribute your related research to our session!
Sincerely,
Conveners:
Kimberly Genareau, University of Alabama
Sonja A. Behnke, University of South Florida
Corrado Cimarelli, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich
