5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 From: "Grosse, Pablo" <pgrosse@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the following IAVCEI 2023 session (Rotorua, New Zealand, 30 Jan - 3 Feb 2023): >From shape to process: geomorphology as a tool to unravel volcanic processes The morphology of volcanoes and volcanic terrains contains inherent information on the wide range of geologic and geomorphic processes that construct and degrade them. Currently, a wealth of sources is available to study and quantify the morphology of volcanoes. In particular, digital elevation models (DEMs), generated from a variety of platforms and with increasing resolutions and spatial coverages (of the Earth, including the submarine and subglacial environments, and of the extraterrestrial planets), allow for detailed morphometric analysis not only of volcanic edifices but also of their individual depositional units. Geomorphological analysis can offer insight into the many aggradational and destructive processes that interact in the volcanic environment, enabling quantification of the growth and evolution of volcanoes, as well as the influence of other main agents such as tectonism and climate. This session aims at integrating and discussing the current state-of-the art of volcano geomorphology and morphometry, and welcomes contributions on: -Quantitative-based classifications of volcanic landforms. -Growth and/or degradational histories of volcanoes, focusing on their morphometric evolutions with time. -Geomorphic analysis of the emplacement processes of lava flows, lava domes, scoria cones, maars, calderas and mass flow deposits. -Analysis of patterns and rates of erosion of volcanic landforms and the relation with climate. -The links between volcano morphometry, the spatial distribution of vents, the magmatic plumbing system, and the tectonic setting. -Methodological aspects, including evaluation of new datasets or DEMs, GIS routines to characterize volcanic landscapes, generation of new algorithms and application of new methodologies for morphometric studies of volcanoes. -Analogue and numerical modeling studies focusing on the geomorphology and morphometry of volcanic processes. -Field-based techniques and studies that quantify volcano morphology. -The role of geomorphology and morphometry for assessing volcanic hazards. The session is under the theme "Using field data, geophysics, geochemistry, statistics, and modelling to probe volcanic and plutonic systems". * Abstract submission deadline: September 2, 2022 * For abstract submission visit: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Y4qD5QGOeCKG9zx7tuByFQuQ5yyQDfWPA9IEM4SIuEbKf81XleBJFdmJLVLZYn9iXnt1LCo5XuZu6mbU$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://confer.eventsair.com/iavcei2023/call-for-abstracts__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YkrGx7J1pmGfNNPjD4ew4Ax8h5XiWvcd1HB4hb1WRVC4BModGEr4Tr0mqWWzDMhPZd1LkQcPjrOzjixB$> We hope to see you in Rotorua!
