Although lava flows are its most iconic and lasting manifestation, basaltic activity encompasses a wide variety of eruptive styles and products, spanning the spectrum of conventional classifications from Hawaiian to Plinian. As well, the wide range of internal and atmospheric conditions found on different planetary bodies leads to striking contrasts in observed landforms, even when considering only the most mafic compositions. An increasing number of studies in the last couple of decades have documented this diversity and explored the possible mechanisms that lead to changes in eruptive style. Following the increasing availability of observational data - both of active phenomena on Earth, and of deposits on all planetary bodies â?? as well as the rapid evolution of numerical and laboratory techniques, the geological community is gaining a new understanding of basaltic expressions of volcanism, and by extension of planetary evolution processes. We would like to solicit abstracts that investigate the causes and consequences of basaltic volcanism of all scales and styles, using field, laboratory, and numerical techniques. We are particularly interested in studies that use two or more approaches to better understand mechanisms that control eruption style and scale. *Short description.* We invite abstracts that investigate the causes and consequences of basaltic volcanism of all scales and styles, using two or more approaches such as field, laboratory, and numerical techniques. The deadline for abstract submission is *June 25, 2019* and abstracts should be submitted at the following address: http://community.geosociety.org/gsa2019/science-careers/sessions/topical Do not hesitate to contact any of the advocates for this session with questions.
