IUGG 2015. IAVCEI VS26 Volcanic Landscape Across the Solar System: From Field to Remote Sensing Analyses
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our session VS26 Volcanic Landscape Across the Solar System: From Field to Remote Sensing Analyses at the 26th IUGG General Assembly 2015, held in Prague (Czech Republic) from 22 June - 2 July 2015.
This session aims to provide a forum for Earth and planetary scientists to engage in a broad range of discussions about volcanic processes on various planetary bodies. A detailed session description is given below.
The abstract submission deadline January 31, 2015.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
We are looking forward to meeting you there,
Description of the session VS26 Volcanic Landscape across the Solar System: from Field to Remote Sensing Analyses:
Volcanic processes are efficient mechanisms to reshape planetary surfaces and provide valuable information about planetary interiors and landscape evolution. The study of geological, and in particular volcanic, processes across the Solar System is at the crossroad of many scientific disciplines using in-situ sampling and analysis, remotely sensed data, or experimental and numerical modelling. Our symposium aims to compile all facets of volcanism and associated interactions with other geological processes (e.g., impacts, tectonics) observed in our Solar System. By providing a forum for a broad range of terrestrial and extraterrestrial volcanic landforms and their underlying formational processes, these observations and interpretations will be investigated and (re)viewed in the light of our current understanding of related processes on Earth. Comparative studies on volcanic processes on Earth using multi-instrumental, remotely sensed, experimental, computational, or field data are particularly welcome. The symposium’s main scope is to explore multi-disciplinary approaches across the Earth and planetary sciences communities including remote sensing, fieldwork and in-situ observations by rovers, and experimental/numerical work to enhance our understanding of the formation and evolution of extraterrestrial volcanoes. Furthermore, the presentation of advances in remote sensing techniques and applications for the monitoring of active volcanoes in the Solar System, in particular on Earth and Io, are favoured. The symposium will address, but is not limited to, the following topics: magma dynamics on terrestrial planets, from source to eruption (composition/ differentiation/mingling), morphology/morphometry of volcanic edifices, lava flows, and volcaniclastic flow deposits, interrelation between morphology, rheology, and petrology (chemistry, mineralogy, texture), edifice growth and destruction cycles, volcano-tectonics and loading-induced lithosphere deformation.
Conveners: Magdalena Oryaëlle Chevrel (UNAM, Mexico), David Baratoux (Toulouse, France), Thomas Platz (FU Berlin, Germany & Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, USA), Benoit Cordonnier (Gentleman Scientist)
