GSA Cordilleran 2015. Session T17: “Large Eruptions in the Aleutians: New Insights into Chronology, Physical Volcanology, Tephrochronology, Petrology, and Impacts
************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the 2015 GSA Cordilleran Meeting Session T17. “Large Eruptions in the Aleutians: New Insights into Chronology, Physical Volcanology, Tephrochronology, Petrology, and Impacts.” This theme session will be held at the GSA Cordilleran Meeting, May 11-13 2015 in Anchorage, Alaska. The abstract deadline is February 10, 2015.
In this session we invite contributions that include the broad scope of geological, volcanological, and archaeological work being done on Alaska’s largest eruptions including recent studies of large caldera systems and individual large eruptions in the Aleutian volcanic arc. We invite contributions that integrate detailed field studies with geochronological, petrological and geochemical data. This can include geological mapping at volcanoes, stratigraphic studies on a volcano-specific or regional scale, archaeological studies and oral traditions. Some of the goals of this session include: (1) collating information about the character and distribution of tephra-fall deposits to improve their use as tephrostratigraphic marker horizons, (2) improved understanding of the timing, location and character of large eruptions, (3) improved understanding of local and arc-wide impacts from large-scale eruptions, and (4) bringing together the multidisciplinary community focused on large eruptions in the Aleutians.
For more information and to submit an abstract, please visit the meeting website: http://www.geosociety.org/sections/cord/2015mtg/techprog.htm
We look forward to your submissions,
