3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Giuseppe De Natale <giuseppe.denatale@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, This is to remind you that, as already announced in the IAVCEI Newsletter N.3 2022, the Workshop on Genesis and Dynamics of Large Calderas will be held in Naples, from May 2nd to May 5th, 2023. The Workshop is co-sponsored by IAVCEI, ICDP, ECORD-IODP, INGV, and CNR-ISMAR. You are all warmly invited to participate. Please, send your application (and abstract, if you plan to give a talk), also indicating if you are interested to participate in the field excursion, before March 31st, to the Workshop Secretariat: Patricia Sclafani mail: patricia.sclafani@xxxxxx phone: +39 328 86346579 Participation in the Workshop is free, but we have an attendance limit for the conference room set to 100 people. I am attaching the Workshop announcement flyer, with all the main info. Best Wishes and see you in Naples! Aims and scope: The Workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers of the volcanological community to discuss open scientific questions related to the origin, evolution and activity of large calderas. It will focus, in particular, on discussing the outcomes and results of recent research activities on the Campi Flegrei caldera, Italy, in relation to the large Campanian Plain ignimbritic eruptions that occurred in the last 300 ka, including the Campanian Ignimbrite (40 ka) - the largest eruptive event ever recorded in Europe. Understanding the origin, evolution, and dynamics of Campi Flegrei caldera, currently in unrest and one of the best-monitored volcanic systems in the world, can improve our broad understanding of the mechanisms of caldera formation and eruption worldwide and, thus, improve our capabilities to mitigate related hazards. We invite presentations focused on any innovative research and results on large volcanic calderas worldwide, particularly on Campi Flegrei caldera and Campanian Plain Ignimbrites. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to discuss and plan future drilling research projects at Campi Flegrei caldera and the Campanian Plain, that can be jointly implemented by the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) (i.e. Land-2-Sea proposals). Finally, the Workshop will be complemented by a one-day field excursion in and around the Campi Flegrei caldera. 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ------------------------------
