Dear Colleagues,
The abstract deadline is coming very soon 29th February, and you still
have time to submit abstracts in our session:
MVP-06 - The construction/destruction of magmatic and volcanic systems:
New insights into magma-tectonic and volcano-tectonic processes in the
Earth's crust.
I would like to draw the attention of people who also want to attend the
IAVCEI conference in Iceland the week following the IGC. In order to
facilitate you to combine both conferences, our session has been
scheduled during the last two days of IGC 2008 (13 and 14 August). Thus,
you can stop a few days only in Oslo on the way of Iceland. I hope that
it can help you to attend both conferences.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Oslo,
Olivier Galland and Eoghan Holohan

Session description
Magmatic and volcanic activity is intimately linked to the deformation
of the Earth's crust on local and regional scales. Mechanisms of magma
transport, storage, and eruption, and of the associated construction
and destruction of volcanic systems, have been studied for decades,
but many interlinked aspects are still debated. These include: 1) the
geometric evolution of sub-volcanic plutons and plumbing systems; 2)
the interactions between stress, fracturing, intrusion, and eruption;
3) the control of regional-tectonic regimes on the ascent, emplacement
and eruption of magma; 4) the structural evolution of volcanic
edifices, including calderas, maars, shields, and strato-volcanoes.
This session invites contributions providing new insights into the
processes of magma ascent, emplacement and eruption, and into the
mechanical relationships between volcanoes, sub-volcanic intrusions,
and crustal deformation. The session will bring together and help
further integrate approaches such as field study, petrology and
geochemistry, experimental and numerical modelling, remote sensing,
geodesy and geophysics, to improve our understanding of the physical
development of magmatic and volcanic systems.
