Dear colleagues,
We wish to encourage you to present your latest research at our
session
"Extraterrestrial volcanism and
tectonics -
from geological mapping and chronostratigraphy to
experiment/modelling and analogue studies"
at the European Geosciences Union 2013, April 7-12, in
Vienna.
Abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 9 January.
Please also note that the deadline for support applications
is Friday, 30 November.
A detailed session description is given below. Our invited
speakers are Taras Gerya (ETH Zürich) and Christopher Hamilton
(Goddard Space Flight Center).
We look forward to meeting you in Vienna.
(and apologies for multiple postings)
Best wishes
Matteo Massironi, Pascal Allemand, Paul Byrne, Harald Hiesinger
& Thomas Platz

Extraterrestrial volcanism and tectonics - from geological mapping
and chronostratigraphy to experiment/modelling and analogue
studies
Convener: Thomas Platz
Co-Conveners: Matteo Massironi, Pascal Allemand, Paul Byrne,
Harald Hiesinger
Volcanic and tectonic processes have profoundly shaped the surface
of terrestrial planets and satellites. This session aims to compile
all facets of volcanism, tectonics, 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, computational, and field data are
welcome.
The session will address, but is not limited to, the following
topics:
- geomorphology of volcanic edifices, deposits, vents, and fissures
- volcano-tectonic deformation and edifice growth and collapse
- tectonic structures, faulting, and fracturing processes
- 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
- mapping planetary surfaces utilising a variety of remote sensing
data and techniqures
- crater dating of geological units
