3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Preece K.J. <k.j.preece@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We invite you to submit an abstract to session S2.5 â??Rates and dates: magmatic and volcanic processes from source to surfaceâ?? at Cities on Volcanoes 11, that will be held in Crete from 23 to 27 May 2020. The deadline for abstract submission is now 2 February. Conveners: Katie Preece (Swansea University, UK) Ralf Gertisser (Keele University, UK) Heather Handley (Macquarie University, Australia) Chiara Petrone (Natural History Museum, UK) Darren Mark (SUERC, UK) Timescales of magmatic processes and eruptive histories are fundamental pieces of information required for understanding magmatic systems, and which can contribute to improve short- and long-term eruption forecasting. For example, timescales and rates of crystallisation, degassing and magma ascent are crucial for understanding magma residence, magmatic differentiation, and the driving forces leading to eruption. Knowledge about timing and frequency of past eruptions is essential for accurate hazard assessment, as well as for understanding long-term magmatic evolution at a volcano. Current development of novel methods and continued advances in existing analytical and imaging techniques mean that elements, isotopes, and rock textures can be measured and analysed at ever-improving precision and spatial resolution. We encourage contributions that investigate magmatic timescales and volcanic histories, using a range of techniques including but not limited to, geochronology and radioisotopic dating, uranium-series isotopic analysis, field studies, diffusion modelling, and quantitative textural studies.
