AGU 2016. Session OS026 - Seafloor Volcanism and Hydrothermal Processes
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to our session at the
upcoming AGU Fall meeting which will cover recent advances in
research on seafloor volcanism and hydrothermal processes. We are
particularly happy to accept any contributions on the use of novel
methodologies (survey, analytics, data mining...) that have
already yielded exciting new results. Note, we want to concentrate
on those results!

Session Title: OS026. Scientific Advances in
Mapping and Characterising Seafloor Volcanism and Hydrothermal
Processes
Section/Focus Group: Ocean Sciences
Submission deadline: Wednesday, 3 August 23:59 EDT
Session Description:
More than 70% of the Earth is covered by oceanic lithosphere yet
the accretion and subsequent evolution of this lithosphere remains
poorly understood. Seafloor volcanism is manifested through
oceanic spreading centers, back-arcs, arcs and hot-spot volcanism.
These, in turn, give rise to associated seafloor processes that
are diverse, complex and integrated, meaning that
cross-disciplinary research is essential to understand how these
different components interact. Historically data collection has
been hampered by the difficulty of making detailed observations of
the deep ocean floor and only recently have technological and
methodological innovations made it possible to collect
comprehensive, detailed datasets. In this session we invite
contributions related to the scientific application of these new
methodologies to studying processes associated with seafloor
volcanism. Scientific findings in volcanic accretion, tectonic
extension, hydrothermal cooling and biodiversity as well as
interdisciplinary research combining these topics is particularly
welcomed.
Best greetings on behalf of all conveners!
