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

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
