Dear All,
We wish to draw your attention to the session "Volcanism, Tectonics and
Faulting in the Solar System" (see session description below) at the
next EGU, 2-7 May 2010, in Vienna. We would be pleased if many of you
are able to attend the conference and will submit abstracts to our
session. Abstract deadline is 18 January 2010. Students can apply for
support, however, they will need to submit their abstracts no later than
4 December 2009. For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best wishes,
Thomas Platz,
Matteo Massironi,
Graziella Caprarelli,

Volcanism, Tectonics and Faulting in the Solar System
PS9.0/GMPV42/TS3.3
Volcanic and tectonic processes have profoundly shaped the surface of
terrestrial planets and satellites. This session aims to compile all
facets of volcanism, tectonism, and associated interactions observed in
our solar system. By providing a forum for a broad range of discussions,
these observations and interpretations will be investigated and reviewed
in the light of our current understanding of related processes on Earth.
Comparative studies and work on active volcanic/tectonic systems on
Earth using multi‐instrumental, remotely sensed, experimental,
computaional, and field data are welcome.
The session will address, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- geomorphological characteristics of volcanic edifices, vents, and fissures
- volcano‐tectonic deformation, growth and collapse on global and local
scales
- tectonic structures, faulting, and fracturing processes
- magma related morphologies
- intrusion processes, geometry, and associated faulting
- crustal stress and strain analysis
- volcaniclastic deposits and their implications for eruptive styles,
rates, and frequency
- composition (spectral, meteoritic, etc.) and rheology of lava flows
- volatile release through eruptions and its impact on atmospheres
- melt generation, lava extrusion, and crustal deformation caused by
large impactors
- cryovolcanism, mudvolcanism, and other comparative processes
