Dear All,
Some of you will receive multiple copies of this e-mail, but I'm
not going to apologise for this. The delete button is close to hand!
This is advance notice of a session that will be held at the EGS
- AGU - EUG Joint Assembly in Nice, France, 7 - 11 April 2003. The

VGP2.04 Emplacement of Magmas in Planetary Crusts
Earth is certainly not the only planet whose crust has been pierced
by magmas (naturally occurring melts ± entrained solids ±
accompanying lower density fluids). High-temperature magmas have been
extruded onto and intruded into the crusts of bodies such as Moon,
Venus, Mars and Io. Stranger cryomagmatic cycles have been found
operating on some of the icy satellites of the gas giant planets. The
fascinating variety of volcanic and plutonic forms (and therefore of
emplacement mechanisms) in these hot and cold places provides us with
fertile ground for observational science, as well as experimental and
theoretical modelling of the processes involved in their formation.
This session aims to explore all aspects of magma emplacement into
and onto planetary crusts, and should appeal to Earth and planetary
scientists, engineers, physicists and astronomers.
This is a preliminary call for expressions of interest.
If you would like to present some of your work, my fellow convenor
and I would be pleased to hear from you.
The official call for abstracts will come on 1 October 2002.
Abstracts have to be submitted to the conference organisers (by 15
January 2003) through the web site, but we are very happy to
correspond with you outside that official channel.
We are:
Prof. John D. Clemens and Dr N. Petford, at Kingston University (London)
