Subject: Call for Abstracts for AGU Special Session: Studies of effusive and explosive volcanism through large-scale experiments

 *********************
From: Jeffrey Alan Karson <jakarson@xxxxxxx>
****************************************************


Dear Colleagues:



Please consider submitting an abstract to the Fall AGU Meeting Special
Session *V010* entitled *“Bridging the gap between field- and
laboratory-based studies of effusive and explosive volcanism through
large-scale experiments”.  *See details below.



*Section/Focus Group:* Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology
*View Session Details: **https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/gateway.cgi
<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/gateway.cgi>*

*Co-Conveners: *Jeffrey Karson (Syracuse University), Benjamin Edwards
(Dickinson College), Arianna Soldati (University of Missouri), Ulrich
Kueppers (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich)



*Session Description:*

Effusive and explosive volcanic eruptions are the result of a complex
interplay of numerous physical and chemical parameters that can be
difficult or dangerous to quantify in the field. Accordingly, the past
decade has seen many efforts to bridge the gap between observational field
volcanology and laboratory-based analog and numerical studies. Some of the
most promising avenues are large-scale (decimeters to meters) experiments
designed to simulate natural magmatic processes including magma ascent,
eruption and transport. For this session we solicit contributions on the
latest designs for such large-scale experiments and their findings.
Presentations may cover any type of volcanic process and/or studies focused
on understanding how scaling laws determine the applicability of
extrapolating experimental results to natural-scale phenomena.



*Comments:*

We are currently discussing the possibility of presenting large-scale
(meters) lava flow demonstrations at the AGU Fall meeting with
representatives of the AGU and Convention Center. If successful, we will
try to link this special session to those demonstrations.





The *abstract submission site
<https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/abstract-submissions/>* opened on
*Wednesday, 13
June*. The deadline for all submissions is *Wednesday, 1 August 23:59 EDT*.
Abstracts will not be accepted for review after this date.

Subject: AGU Session V033 - Rates and timescales of magma transport and storage

 *********************
From: Maurizio Petrelli <maurizio.petrelli@xxxxxxxx>
****************************************************

Dear colleagues,

The deadline for abstract submission at the AGU Fall Meeting 2018 is
approaching.

We encourage you in submitting an abstract to the *V033* session
entitled “*Rates
and timescales of magma transport and storage from mantle source to
emplacement or eruption.*”


*Session Details and Abstract Submission:* https://goo.gl/JdRq7E


Confirmed invited presenters:

*Terry Plank *-  Columbia University
*Madison Myers* - Montana State University



Session Description:
Magmatic and volcanic systems involve a range of dynamic processes that
govern magma generation, ascent, emplacement, and eruption. The timescales
of these processes are of paramount importance to understand the evolution
of magmatic reservoirs and mush zones during crystallization, assimilation,
mixing, and volatile exsolution. Depending on the ascent timescale, these
processes may operate far from compositional and textural equilibrium,
induced by rapidly changing environmental parameters. Rates and mechanisms
of crustal emplacement or eruption, together with physical and rheological
investigations of magmas, are also crucial in characterizing the volcanic
hazard. We welcome analytical, numerical, experimental, geophysical, and
field-based studies addressing rates and timescales of volcanic and
plutonic processes. These may include radiogenic isotope dating, mineral
geospeedometry, crystal size distribution analysis, and fluid dynamics.
Also, we welcome interdisciplinary studies probing the mechanisms and
timescales of volcanic phenomena such as pre-eruptive dynamics, magma and
lava rheology, phase equilibria, and volcanic flows.

Conveners:
Maurizio Petrelli (University of Perugia), Stephan Kolzenburg (McGill
University / LMU Munich), Georg F Zellmer (Massey University), Danilo Di
Genova (University of Bristol)


We look forward to seeing you in Washington, D.C.


On behalf of the conveners,
Maurizio Petrelli (University of Perugia)

Dear colleagues,

This is the final announcement of our session on “Earth System Interactions
and Implications for Geohealth“ (GH008) at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting (10-14
December, 2018).
Please consider submitting an abstract and informing any of your
collaborators who may have an interest in this session.  Presentations on
volcanic and volcano-related processes and their human health and safety
implications are solicited!

If you've already submitted an abstract for another session, you may still
be able to submit to our GeoHealth session due to the special AGU policies:
*Submissions to a Geohealth session are exempt from the “first-author rule”
such that even when submitting to a Geohealth session, first-authored
submissions are allowed to another session.
**Also note that, for Geohealth sessions, AGU is allowing non-AGU members
to submit an abstract and then register for the Fall Meeting at member
rates for this year.  Please contact us if you are not an AGU member but
would like to contribute to our session.

More information is also available at
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/53125

Description: Knowledge of the multiple interactions among ocean, land and
atmosphere is essential to understand many critical geohealth issues,
including the outbreaks of infectious diseases and health impacts of air-
and water-borne pollutants and pathogens. Encouraged in this session are
observational and modeling studies of key processes of the Earth system
(ocean, land, atmosphere) and how these processes interact to affect human
and ecosystem health. Topics of interest include 1) linkages and feedbacks
between the land surface, atmospheric composition and human health; 2)
field measurements and satellite remote sensing of land surface processes,
aerosols, and other key Earth system components directly related to human
health; 3) land degradation, soil erosion and airborne and waterborne
pathogens and implications on human health; 4) regional and global public
health effects of changing climate and land surface; and 5) health effects
of human exposure to naturally-occurri
 ng earth materials.

Session conveners are Daniel Tong, Scott Van Pelt, James Crooks and myself.

*Abstracts- for all AGU sessions- are due on August 1, 2018.*

The real first book on Volcanic Lakes

Thanks to the meticulous preservation and digitization of the first 10
Newsletters of the International Working Group on Crater Lakes (IWGCL) and
the early IAVCEI-CVL by CVL “Founding Father” Prof. Em. Minoru Kusakabe, we
are happy to now share these first notes on history and scientific contents
of our commission as a 371 pages PDF document.

Free download here: https://iavcei-cvl.org/

This original, multi-author, and posteriorly unedited document is arguably *the
real first book on Volcanic Lakes*, covering the activities of our
community during the first 10 years, from post-Nyos (1987) to March 1997.


Enjoy and respect…
Dmitri, Leader IAVCEI-CVL

Subject: AGU Fall Meeting Session: V012: Chemistry, Mechanics, Geophysics, and Timescales of Magmatic Processes

 *********************
From: Meredith T <meredith_townsend@xxxxxxxxx>
****************************************************

Dear colleagues,

We urge you to consider submitting abstracts to AGU Fall Meeting session *V012:
Chemistry, Mechanics, Geophysics, and Timescales of Magmatic Processes*,
using the following link: https://agu.confex.com/agu
/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/54000

*Invited Speakers:*
*Janine Kavanagh*, University of Liverpool
*Christy Till*, Arizona State University

Revealing the volumes, mechanics, chemistry, and temporal evolution of
magma bodies in the Earth’s lithosphere, and how they contribute to its
architecture and dynamics requires integration of multiple types of
observations, and cross-disciplinary collaboration among geologists,
geochemists, petrologists, geochronologists, volcanologists, and
geophysicists. We aim to bring together researchers from across these
disciplines to probe questions including how we:

- detect magma bodies and determine their volume and geometry
- quantify time-integrated chemical, mechanical, and thermal processes
- determine the frequency of magma injections, dykes, and/or melt
extraction events
- interrogate minerals, glasses and melts, or volatile emissions, to
constrain the timescales and location of magmatic processes
- decipher signs of volcanic unrest with respect to magmatic processes


We encourage researchers using field studies, geophysical observations,
laboratory analysis, modelling, and/or experimental simulations on any
scale to better understand magmatic processes to submit contributions to
this session.

Conveners:
Mattia Pistone, University of Lausanne
Benoît Taisne, Earth Observatory of Singapore, NTU Singapore
Brad S Singer, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Meredith Townsend, Brown University

Additional information, including everything you need to know about
abstract submission is here: https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/.


Looking forward to receiving your contributions and seeing many of you at
the AGU meeting,


Meredith, Brad, Benoît, Mattia
