*******************************************************************************************************
Dear Volcanologists,
There will be a session dealing in part with pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) at the International Meeting of Sedimentology (IMS, Toulouse, France; 10-12 October 2017):
Session name: “Sediment density flows in siliciclastic, pyroclastic and calciclastic settings: process and product (CB2.5)"
Conveners: Matthieu Cartigny, Guilhem Amin Douillet, Joris Eggenhuisen, Thierry Mulder
The goal is to discuss between researchers working on similar flows from different environments (description at the foot of the mail). PDC researchers surely have a lot to bring and to learn from sharing with scientists working on subaquatic density flows.
The IMS meeting is the yearly meeting of the International Association of Sedimentologists (
https://www.sedimentologists.org). It usually represents a gathering of several hundreds of sedimentologists. This year, the meeting will be held in Toulouse (France), a lively cultural city of Southwestern France, close to the Pyrenees, Atlantic, and Mediterranean. All information as well as the abstract submission link can be found on the website (
https://ims2017.sciencesconf.org/).
Abstract deadline and early-bird registration are approaching fast: (15th June).
Feel very welcome to present your work there! And please do not hesitate to spread the word around you! For any information, contact me or any of the conveners and we will be very happy to answer. Hope to see you soon in Toulouse!
Best regards,
Guilhem, in behalf of the conveners (M. Cartigny, G.A. Douillet, J. Eggenhuisen, T. Mulder)
Session description: “Sediment density flows in siliciclastic, pyroclastic and calciclastic settings: process and product (CB2.5)"
Sediment density flows are sediment-laden geophysical currents that flow down-slope due to gravity acting on the sediment they carry. This session aims to compare and contrast the processes and deposits of density flows in different settings. We welcome contribution on flow types that include landslides, debris flows, grain flows, turbidity currents, pyroclastic flows and snow avalanches. This session aims to investigate the similarities and differences between all these types of flows and their sedimentary deposits over a wide range of settings and sediment types. We invite contributions from modern and ancient environments as well as experimental and numerical simulations examining the generation, transport, flow and sedimentation processes within sediment density flows. This session has the intention to bring together field and modelling contributions, to explore the fascinating dynamics of these flows, and the link to their deposits.
