2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Iona McIntosh <i.m.mcintosh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the following session on submarine volcanism and hydrothermalism at the 2020 Goldschmidt meeting in Hawaii from June 21st - 26th. Please note that the ***abstract submission deadline is now Feb 21st (23:59 HST)***, and that there are also a number of volcanic-themed field trips associated with the conference that may be of interest ( https://goldschmidt.info/2020/eventTypeView?type=355) We look forward to your contributions! *05b: Submarine volcanic, magmatic and hydrothermal processes* Scope: Roughly 80% of the active volcanism on Earth occurs within the oceans, with a wide range of activity style and potential hazards, and offering insights into the deep biosphere and the formation of economically important ore deposits. There is an ever-increasing wealth of diverse datasets about submarine volcanoes, including detailed bathymetry and seismic profiles of submarine structures; samples of eruption deposits and hydrothermal fluids by dredging, ROV and scientific ocean drilling surveys; and real-time monitoring of volcanic activity by remote sensing or seafloor observatories. This session focuses on volcanic, magmatic, and hydrothermal processes at submarine volcanoes in different tectonic settings: mid-ocean ridges, arcs, back-arcs, hot spots, and other intraplate settings, and from deep to shallow to partially submerged. We welcome abstracts focused on any aspect of submarine volcanism, including (but not limited to): variations in magma composition and eruption style, eruption processes, magma-water interactions, volcanic hazards, heat flux, hydrothermal mineralization, and how these processes vary across different tectonic settings and water depths. We also encourage abstracts outlining new approaches, emerging technologies, and recent discoveries in these environments. We hope this will spark discussion within the oral and poster sessions pertaining to the importance of seafloor exploration, utilizing existing datasets to their fullest potential, future studies, science communication, and public outreach.
