Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit your abstracts to present at the “Cities on Volcanoes” conference in Naples (Italy) from September 2-7, 2018 in the session:
S1.20 - Investigating eruption triggers and dynamic processes in magmas (Symposium 1)
Volcanic eruptions are devastating and unpredictable phenomena with major local and global environmental effects. While growing population hubs including Naples, Tokyo and Mexico City located close to active volcanoes demonstrate how infrastructure must build resilience to the effects of volcanic activity, requiring permanent monitoring and accurate and reliable hazard assessment.
The exceptionally dynamic nature of volcanic systems results from ever-evolving pressure and temperature conditions that control not just when, but also how an eruption takes place. Indeed the greatest difficulty in volcanic eruption forecasting is to correlate the evolution of the geochemical and geophysical signals recorded at the surface with magma transfer at depth, and to determine whether the magma will be able to erupt.
This process-focused session hopes to draw an array of cross-disciplinary topics that aim to quantify dynamic magmatic processes, including experimental volcanology, volcano monitoring, petrography, remote sensing and modelling. Topics could include the generation and storage of magmas in the crust; their activation and mobility; interaction of those magmas with host rocks; interpretation of volcano-monitoring signals, eruption precursors, magnitudes, and timescales; the transport of multi-phase magmas; crystallization and vesiculation in response to pressure and temperature pathways; 3D and 4D textural studies and their links to magmatic processes; and advancements in hazard assessment. We hope that the session will generate synergy across topics, helping link the surface expressions of volcanic unrest to their underlying processes.
The call for the abstract submissions is now open at:
Please note the abstract deadline is May 10, 2018.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
We look forward to seeing you in Naples,
The Conveners
