Dear colleagues,
are you studying sills, dykes, laccoliths, magma chambers, plutons, volcanic conduits, and the interface between magma bodies and their host rocks by using e.g. geodetic and geophysical monitoring, field studies, igneous petrology, experiments and/or modelling?
Please consider submitting an abstract to this year's IAVCEI/IUGG session on Understanding VIPS (Volcanic and Igneous Plumbing Systems) through Multidisciplinary Research at http://www.iugg2015prague.com/abstracts.htm until 31st January.
With keynote talks by Catherine Annen and Chloé Michaut.
We hope to see you in Prague,
Steffi Burchardt, Olivier Galland and Valentin Troll
Session description: Volcanic and Igneous Plumbing Systems (VIPS), which are made up of e.g. magma chambers, sheet intrusions, and conduits, are characterized by complex physical and chemical interactions of magma(s) with the surrounding rocks that occur from atom- to crustal-scale, and span times from seconds to millions of years. Hence, multidisciplinary research is essential to grasp the complexity of VIPS.
Diverse scientific approaches have been used to study VIPS that include: (1) volcano geodesy, seismology, and volcanic gases chemistry for studying active VIPS, (2) structural geology, igneous petrology, and geochemistry for studying fossil, eroded VIPS, and (3) laboratory, numerical, and petrological modelling studies to constrain the dynamics and evolution of VIPS. Although all these approaches focus on the same topics, they traditionally operate as independent entities, which frequently leads to contradictory views. This realisation implies that method-based approaches alone are insufficient to fully unravel the complex chemo-physical processes governing the dynamics of VIPS. Instead, a process-based approach, integrating the input from various disciplines is recommended in order to derive a comprehensive understanding of VIPS.
