Dear colleagues,
You are warmly welcomed to contribute to discussion and debate at the
following session at the European Geo-sciences Union General Assembly
in Vienna, Austria, during 17–22 April 2016:
GMPV5.10 Volcanic Plumbing Systems: Dynamics of magma transport and
emplacement in the Earth’s crust.

Please note the looming submission deadline: 13 January 2016, 13:00 CET
The full session description is below. Don't hesitate to contact us if
you have any questions.
We look forward to seeing you in Vienna.

=================================================
Session Description:
Volcanic plumbing systems evolve through the interaction of numerous
processes governing the ascent, emplacement and eruption of magma.
These highly-dynamic processes operate and interlink on scales of
millimetres to kilometres, from the Mantle to the Earth’s surface, and
involve complex physics at the interface between fluid and solid
mechanics that are challenging to tackle. Understanding the physics of
volcanic plumbing systems is nonetheless crucial for forecasting the
location, style and violence of volcanic eruptions, and for providing
accurate hazard and risk assessments.
This session aims to bring together those who address the physical and
temporal development of volcanic plumbing systems by using field or
geophysical observations, theoretical or analytical models, and
experimental or numerical models. This session includes, but is not
restricted to, the following topics:
- Physics of melt segregation in magmatic sources;
- Fluid mechanics of crystal-bearing melts;
- Fracture mechanics related to dyke, sill and cone sheet emplacement;
- Mechanics of magma and host rock deformation related to pluton and
laccolith emplacement;
- Comparative dynamics of igneous and sedimentary intrusions;
- Magma-host rock dynamics during formation of volcanic vents,
diatremes and pipes;
- Prediction of volcanic vent location and distribution.
This session is process-oriented, and it aims to trigger
cross-disciplinary interactions. We therefore strongly encourage
comparisons and validation of modelling results with field and/or
geophysical observations, as this is a crucial step toward fully
unravelling the complex processes beneath, within and upon volcanoes.
