Description
Water in liquid and solid form covers large parts of the Earth, and about two thirds of volcanic eruptions worldwide occur subaqueously. Interaction of magma with water is common, either in subaqueous or glacial settings (oceans, lakes, glacial meltwater) or with aquifers. Water depth, physical properties of water and available volumes of water and ice all contribute to modify eruption and transport processes relative to subaerial settings. Subaqueous eruptions involve the entire range of magma compositions, spanning from effusive lava flows to highly explosive eruptions, and the volumes of external water involved vary by orders of magnitude. Even though field studies, experimental and theoretical work have advanced knowledge a great deal, our understanding of some styles of activity remains poor and analogies with subaerial volcanism are limited. This session aims to bring together research on eruption, transport and deposition in modern and ancient volcanic eruptions that involved and interacted with external water. We are particularly interested in research on facies analysis, micro-textures, lava flow and seamount or subglacial edifice morphologies, physical and chemical processes involving magma-water interactions, and geophysical and other observations of subaqueous to emergent eruptions. The session covers field-based and other observational, laboratory or theoretical studies and welcomes contributions on hazards and risk mitigation studies associated with such eruptions.
