Dear All,
The official call for papers has been issued for the EGS-AGU-EUG
Joint Assembly, Nice, France (06-11 April 2003).
This is a specific invitation to potential authors, to contribute to:
Symposium VGP2.04 "Emplacement of Magmas in Planetary Crusts"
Convened by John Clemens and Nick Petford (Kingston University, London)
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.
If you would like to present some of your work please go to:

The deadline is Jan 15, 2003.
We look forward to a lively and fascinating session.
With best wishes,
JC & Nick
