SSA Session
Colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to the session “Tracking Fluid Movement in Volcanic Systems” at the Seismological Society of America meeting to be held in Anchorage, Alaska (http://www.seismosoc.org/meetings/2014/). The meeting will take place 30 April – 2 May 2014, and more information on the session can be found below.
Abstracts are due 10 January 2014.
Tracking Fluid Movement in Volcanic Systems
Seismology has long been the primary means through which to study and monitor the movement of magma and other fluids in active volcanic systems. However, despite decades of seismic monitoring at volcanoes, the ascent of magma and the circulation of fluids within volcanic systems, and how these phenomena are reflected in geophysical signals, remain poorly understood. In recent decades, improvements in instrumentation and processing techniques have led to the development of additional geophysical tools capable of tracking fluid movement, including infrasound, high-rate GPS, InSAR and gravity. These tools, often used in concert with seismological techniques, have brought forth many new insights that were previously unknown. We seek submissions highlighting interdisciplinary geophysical monitoring and study of fluid movement in active volcanoes and geothermal systems. We encourage contributions that emphasize advances in numerical modeling, feature new instrumentation or analytical methods, and/or provide new insights into the physical processes controlling fluid movement.
Session Chairs: John Lyons, Helena Buurman, Diana Roman, David Fee

EGU Session
Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the following EGU2014 session:
“On and through the plate interface: zooming into subduction zone processes”
TS7.2/GD5.6/GMPV24/SM6.8
Useful Link: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2014/session/14761
Please make sure to submit your contributions before January 16!
With best wishes for the new year and looking forward to meeting you next spring in Vienna (April 27 – May 02)!
All the best,
Conveners: P. Vannuchi, P. van Keken, A. Rietbrock, M. Scambelluri & P. Agard
Co-sponsored by International Lithosphere Program / Task Force IX
Scope:
Subduction zone processes are controlled by the mechanical coupling and global material transfer at and across subduction zone inter-plate boundaries, between the down-going subducting plate and the overriding plate. Although stresses and energy release via earthquakes together with fluid-mediated mass transfer largely concentrate on the plate interface, interacting on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, the nature, structure and physical properties of this interface remain badly unknown.
We welcome all contributions dealing with the subduction interface, in particular cross-disciplinary data and models providing/addressing:
(1) high-resolution images of the plate interface
(2) plate interface rheology through space & time (from seconds to million years)
(3) fluxes of fluid and mass along & across the interface.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
Abstract submission: 16 January 2014, 13.00 CET
Deadline for Early Registration: 4 April 2014
