********************************************************************************************************
I would like to invite anyone with relevant research who has not yet done so to please submit an abstract to our IAVCEI session, "Continental large igneous provinces: understanding processes of magma formation, storage, evolution, and eruption."
This is meant to be a multi-disciplinary session, so don't feel like you should not submit if you work in anything from geophysics to isotope geochemistry or field mapping. The broader the better for the session!
IAVCEI, which meets every four years, is on August 14th-18th in beautiful (and volcanic) Portland, Oregon, USA. The deadline for abstract submissions is Wednesday, March 22 (NOT Friday, March 17, as previously posted).
I hope to see as many of you as possible there!

II.9 Continental large igneous provinces: understanding processes of magma formation, storage, evolution, and eruption
Conveners:
Dylan Colón, University of Oregon; dcolon@xxxxxxxxxxx
Anita Grunder, Oregon State University; grundera@geo.oregonstate.edu
Stephen Self, University of California, Berkeley; sself@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Large igneous provinces are characterized by extreme volumes (~10^6 km3) of magma erupted in geologically short time periods. These include the well-known flood basalt provinces and the associated evolved magmas that accompany nearly all such systems. In most cases, there are also hotspot tracks that are temporally and spatially connected to the flood basalt (e.g., Yellowstone-Columbia River Basalt province). We seek contributions that will help to better understand large igneous provinces and their associated hotspot tracks, with an emphasis on those that occur in continental crust. Relevant questions include: Where are the melts produced, including both the initial basalts and the most evolved rhyolites? What are the primary sources of chemical diversity in magmas, and what are the relative contributions of crustal melting, magma recharge, and fractional crystallization to this diversity? How does crustal composition influence the style of volcanism and the composition of erupted magmas? What role does tectonics play? What are the timescales of magma formation, differentiation, and eruption in these systems? What are the environmental impacts of these eruptions? We encourage submissions from a range of disciplines, including volcanology, petrology, geochemistry, computational modeling, and geophysics. Interdisciplinary studies are particularly encouraged.
