Call for 88° GSI - Session P8 - Tectonics and igneous activity

From: Leone Giovanni <giovanni.leone@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
*****************************************************************************************************


Dear Colleagues,

for the first year in its long history, the Geological Society of Italy (founded in 1881) is having planetary geology together with terrestrial geology topics in the same sessions. The aim of these sessions is favouring interdisciplinary dialogue and collaborations. The list of conveners and keynote speakers is also available for each session. A complete list of the available sessions can be found here:

http://www.sginapoli2016.it/home/index.php/en/2016-01-15-21-14-07/session-list

The 88th Conference of the GSI will be held in Naples, 7-9 September 2016, with a rich programme of excursions in the fantastic surroundings of the city, including the Vesuvius and the Campi Flegrei.  

 

All the relevant information can be found here:

I would like to draw your attention towards the following session P8, which will also include planetary volcanism and tectonics. 

Best regards

Giovanni Leone

P8 - Tectonics and igneous activity

Giacomo Corti (Università di Firenze, giacomo.corti@xxxxxxxx), Roberto Isaia (INGV-OV, roberto.isaia@xxxxxxx), Giovanni Leone (ETH Zurich, giovanni.leone@xxxxxxxxxxxx), Michele Lustrino (Università di Roma La Sapienza,michele.lustrino@xxxxxxxxxxx), Stefano Vitale (Università di Napoli Federico II, stefano.vitale@xxxxxxxx)

Keynote speakers: Linda Elkins-Tanton (Arizona State University), Joel Ruch (Università di Roma Tre)

This session aims discussing the current state of knowledge about the interaction between Tectonics and igneous activity in different geodynamic settings, with a focus on mid-plate settings and subduction zones. We invite contributions from a broad range of Earth and planetary scientists, who employ different techniques to assess the various magma-tectonic processes in ancient and recent tectonic settings and the relationships between volcanism and tectonic structures at global, regional or local scale. We are particularly interested in works that investigate these process by using different geological and geophysical techniques (from classic petrological and geochemical analyses to satellite ground deformation data), providing information on different aspects such as the origin of magmatism, the significance of ancient tectonic processes to explain magma composition, the chemical evolution of magma during its migration through the lithosphere, the mutual feedback between tectonics and igneous activity, volcanic eruption locations and styles, etc.
