Dear colleagues,
The deadline for abstract submission to the 33rd IGC in Oslo is
approaching (29th February). We invite you to submit abstracts in our
session:
MPV-06 - The construction/destruction of magmatic and volcanic systems: New
insights into magma-tectonic and volcano-tectonic processes in the
Earth's crust
Our aim is to discuss the processes governing the emplacement of magma
in the Earth’s crust, with a particular attention to the role of
tectonic and non-tectonic deformation in the country rock.
We will have two invited speakers, Richard Ernst (Ernst Geosciences,
Canada) and Carl Stevenson (University of Birmingham).
We look forward to seeing you in Oslo!
Olivier Galland and Eoghan Holohan
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.
