Dear fellow volcanologists,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the following special session at AGU, titled:
Lava Flows: Integrating Field and Remote Sensing Observations, Laboratory Experiments and Modeling
Session Description:
Understanding the dynamics and morphology of active mafic and silicic lava flows requires a synthesis of field and remote sensing observations, laboratory measurements of rheology and other properties, and numerical models. Field mapping and morphological description has undergone rapid advances through digital cameras and photogrammetry, ground-based laser and LiDAR measurements, and hand-held thermal imagers. In recent years observations have been made of active flows ranging in composition from rhyolite to basalt, and on a variety of substrates including ice. Large-scale laboratory studies of lava flows allow environmental controls on flow morphology to be tested. Laboratory studies of multiphase rheology are making rapid advances but are not yet well incorporated into numerical models. This session seeks to review current understanding of active lava emplacement through integration of field study, laboratory-based measurements, and theoretical modeling, and to identify future experimental and theoretical developments that will lead to improved understanding and predictive capability.
