1 - LIPs, rifting and element cycling in the mantle
This session will investigate the genesis of the wide variety of primitive magmas that are found in intraplate settings, LIPs, rifts and ocean basins. In addition to petrological studies and emplacement histories, we also invite contributions that attempt to decipher the chemistry and isotope composition and heterogeneity of the mantle and their information on long-term element cycling in the silicate Earth.
2 - New views on subduction zone magmatism in the wider context of making continental crust
This session will investigate the conundrum of making intermediate magmas at subduction zones. It will look at melt generation in the mantle and crust and processes and transformations from the sub-arc mantle wedge to the surface, including the roles of fractional crystallization, magma mixing, mantle assimilation, crustal assimilation and ascent and emplacement of both plutonic and volcanic arcmagmas.
3 - Magmatic histories – linking geochemical, physical and geophysical evidence
This session welcomes research on the reconstruction of crystallisation in magmas, considering factors such as changes in T, P, fO2, and volatile content and also magmatic recharge events. We are looking for studies using analytical, experimental and numerical approaches to investigate processes and timescales of magma storage, evolution, recharge and ascent, and reconstruction of magmatic plumbing systems.
4 - Effects of volatiles on eruptions: the view from deposits
Volatiles assume a critical but highly variable role in explosive eruptions; at times they effectively drive the eruptions and at times they likely don't. This session invites submissions that examine volcanic deposits, with a particular focus on seeking to understand volatile contents and their behaviour in the context of magma rheology and explosive and effusive eruption styles.
5 - Volcanism as a hazard and an environmental and climatic agent
This session will investigate hazards close to and far afield from volcanoes. This will include contributions on hazard mapping, volcano monitoring and eruption forcasting and reports on the emission and transport of volcanic aerosols and tephra, volatile element cycles and the effect of volcanic gases on climate.
6 - Volcanic and Magmatic Studies
Research on recent and ongoing eruptions, novel concepts and new approaches to volcanic and magmatic studies as well as other exciting contributions to the wider field of Volcanic and Magmatic Studies.
