Dear Colleague,

We would like to encourage you to contribute with a presentation to the session on

Volcanic processes: Tectonics, Deformation, Geodesy (GMPV4.1/G3.7/NH2.8/TS10.3)
at the EGU Meeting, 8 - 13 April 2018, to be held in Vienna, Austria (https://www.egu2018.eu<http://www.egu2017.eu>)

Deadline for receipt of abstracts is 10 January 2018.

This session embraces studies in Structural Geology, Tectonics, Geodesy, Modelling, Geophysics, Volcano Monitoring, Volcanology and Petrology.

A description of the session is provided below.  Please pass this information on to colleagues and students working in this field.  We apologize for any multiple posting and look forward to meet you in Vienna.


Thank you.  Kind regards,

Valerio Acocella, Agust Gudmundsson, Tom Walter, Sigur Jonsson, Adelina Geyer




Session information

The session “Volcanic processes: Tectonics, Deformation and Geodesy” deals with the documentation and modelling of the tectonic, deformative and geodetic features of any type of volcanic area, on Earth and in the Solar System. The focus is on advancing our understanding on any type of deformation of active and non-active volcanoes, on the associated behaviours, and the implications for hazards.  We welcome contributions based on results from fieldwork, remote-sensing studies, geophysical and geodetic measurements, and analytical, analogue, and numerical simulations.

Studies may be focused at the regional scale, investigating the tectonic setting responsible for and controlling volcanic activity, both along divergent and convergent plate boundaries, as well in intraplate settings.

At a more local scale, all types of surface deformation in volcanic areas are of interest, such as elastic inflation and deflation, or anelastic processes, including caldera and flank collapses.
Deeper, sub-volcanic deformation studies, concerning the emplacement of intrusions, as sills, dikes and laccoliths, are most welcome.

Geodetic studies aim at detecting detailed and precise volcano deformation data, obtained mainly through GPS and InSAR, as well as at their modelling to imagine sources.

The session includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics:
• volcanism and regional tectonics;
• formation of magma chambers, laccoliths, and other intrusions;
• dyke ad sill propagation, emplacement, and arrest;
• earthquakes and eruptions;
• caldera collapse, resurgence, and unrest;
• flank collapse;
• volcano deformation monitoring;
• volcano deformation and hazard assessment.



The conveners are Valerio Acocella (University Roma Tre, Italy), Agust Gudmundsson (Royal Holloway London, England), Tom Walter (GFZ Potsdam, Germany), Sigurjon Jonsson (Kaust, Thuwai, Saudi Arabia) and Adelina Geyer (CSIC, Barcelona, Spain).
