Dear Colleagues,
We invite your contributions to session VS08, Experimental Studies of Volcanic Systems, at the 2015 IUGG General Assembly in Prague. The meeting is from 22 June to 2 July 2015. Abstracts are due 31 January. More information about the meeting can be found at: http://www.iugg2015prague.com.
Session Description:
Constructing reliable models for volcanic dynamics requires detailed knowledge of the behavior of both key processes and material properties under the actual conditions of pressure, temperature, and velocity attained in the volcanic system. Laboratory-scale experiments provide the best means to quantify and characterize such processes and properties, particularly those that are either difficult to directly observe in the field or characterized by uncertain governing relationships preventing their exploration in computational studies. However, experimentalists are challenged by addressing the full range of temporal and spatial scales operating in volcanic systems, the spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability inherent within them, and the multi-component nature of their behavior. We welcome experimental contributions focusing on overcoming such challenges and their impact on our understanding of volcanic systems.
Sincerely,
Olivier Roche (Université Blaise Pascal, o.roche@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
