T3. Magmatism and Orogenesis in the Sedimentary Record. 
Matthew McKay, Missouri State Univ., matthewmckayatmissouristate.edu; William Jackson, Univ. of Alabama/Geological Survey of Alabama, wjacksonatgsa.state.al.us; Keith Gray, Wichita State Univ., k.grayatwichita.edu.

Description: This session will explore the representation of magmatism and orogenesis in the sedimentary record. We encourage contributions that present innovative approaches for interpreting tectonic events using sedimentary strata, with topics including field mapping, structural analysis, sequence/seismic stratigraphy, paleoseismic features, tephrochronology, and quantitative analysis (geochronology, geochemistry, etc.).


T6. Magmatic Processes and Sources for Hotspot Volcanoes. 
Michael Garcia, Univ. of Hawai‘i, mogarcia@xxxxxxxxxx; Jasper Konter, Univ. of Hawai‘i, jkonter@xxxxxxxxxx.

Description: Contributions that address the nature of the sources and the processes that create and modify magmas erupted at hotspot volcanoes are encouraged.


T7. Origin and Evolution of Continental and Oceanic-Arc Magmas. 
Michael Garcia, Univ. of Hawai‘i, mogarcia@xxxxxxxxxx.

Description: Understanding the origin and evolution of magmas related to circum-Pacific arc volcanism is the theme of this session. Presentations that address all aspects of arc volcanism are welcome, especially field studies, petrology and geochemistry.


T8. Explosive Volcanism. Bruce. F. Houghton, Univ. of Hawai‘i, bhought@soest.hawaii.edu; Don Swanson, USGS, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory; donswan@xxxxxxxx; Sarah Fagents, Univ. of Hawai‘i, fagents@xxxxxxxxxx.

Description: Explosive eruptions are unusual amongst natural hazard events for their complexity, i.e., the number and diversity of hazard types that may operate simultaneously but on very different temporal and spatial scales. We seek here contributions on both the fundamental processes of explosive eruptions but also risks and threats to communities.


T9.Volcanic Impacts. 
Costanza Bonadonna, Univ. of Geneva, Costanza.Bonadonna@unige.ch; Sebastien Biasse, Univ. of Hawai‘i, sbiasse@xxxxxxxxxx; Susanna Jenkins, Earth Observatory of Singapore, susanna.jenkins@gmail.com; Thomas Wilson, Univ. of Canterbury, New Zealand, thomas.wilson@canterbury.ac.nz; Christina Neal, USGS, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, tneal@xxxxxxxx.

Description: Volcanic phenomena (e.g. ash dispersal and sedimentation, pyroclastic density currents, lahars, lava flows) are associated with a range of impacts on urban, agricultural and natural systems at different temporal and spatial scales. This symposium explores multidisciplinary approaches for the characterization and assessment of all types of volcanic impacts.


T10. Hazards and Hazard Communication Related to the Active Volcanoes of Hawai‘i. 
Christina Neal, USGS, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, tneal@xxxxxxxx; Janet Babb, USGS, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, jbabb@xxxxxxxx.

Description: During 33-plus years of nearly continuous eruption and unrest, scientific investigations have improved our understanding of the hazards posed by Hawaiian volcanoes. This session seeks contributions detailing new insights on the nature and impacts of volcano hazards in Hawai‘i and the techniques of communicating those hazards to at-risk residents.


T11.Submarine Volcanism in Hawai‘i and Elsewhere. 
Ken Rubin, Univ. of Hawai‘i, krubin@xxxxxxxxxx; Sam Mitchell, Univ. of Hawai‘i, samjm@xxxxxxxxxx.

Description: Most of Earth's volcanism occurs in the oceans, where eruptions and eruption deposits can be difficult to study, yet research using submersible, mapping robots, remote detection, and shore-based sample analysis are leading to leaps in understanding. Submissions on all forms of submarine (or subaqueous) volcanism and studies by any methods are encouraged.


T14. Advances in Geothermal Resource Investigation. 
Pete Stelling, Western Washington Univ., pete.stelling@xxxxxxx; Nick Hinz, Univ. of Nevada-Reno; nhinz@xxxxxxx; Nicole Lautze, Univ. of Hawai‘i, nlautze@soest.hawaii.edu; Garrett Ito, Univ. of Hawai‘i, gito@xxxxxxxxxx.

Description: Exploration, development and support of geothermal energy is entering a period of resurgence in the western U.S. and around the world. We welcome contributions pertaining to any geothermal and hydrothermal location or topic, including exploration updates, technological breakthroughs, modeling results and more.


T17. Volcanism across the Solar System. 
Sarah A. Fagents, Univ. of Hawai‘i, fagents@xxxxxxxxxx; Rosaly Lopes, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, rosaly.m.lopes-gautier@xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Description: This session will focus on extraterrestrial volcanism, from our neighboring silicate planets to the ice-rich bodies of the outer solar system. We encourage contributions discussing new data and observations, recent modeling developments, novel techniques, field analog studies, integration of diverse data sets, and comparative planetary studies.


T18. Deposition and Diagenesis of Volcaniclastic Sediments on Earth and Mars. 
Juergen Schieber, Indiana Univ., jschiebe@xxxxxxxxxxx; Ken Edgett, Malin Space Science Systems, edgett@xxxxxxxx; David Bish, Indiana Univ., bish@xxxxxxxxxxx.

Description: Our goal is to bring together researchers investigating deposition and post-depositional alteration of terrestrial volcaniclastic sediments with those working on Martian sediments and sedimentary rock. To help with the science return from Mars Rover data, of particular interest are mafic to intermediate sediments, sedimentary rocks, and their diagenesis.
