V23M:
The Emerging Multidisciplinary Science of Fire and Ice: Understanding the Causes, Timing, and Consequences of Planetary Glaciovolcanism Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 51233

Session Description:
During the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruption in Iceland, the importance of interactions between volcanoes and glaciers came fully into public view. However, Quaternary glaciovolcanoes are found all over the Earth, including Antarctica, South America, North America, Africa, Indonesia and Russia, as well as on other planets (e.g., Mars), and they have impacted many different parts of the cryosphere (e.g., permafrost to ice sheets). Scientists from many disciplines study coupled volcano-cryosphere systems, partly due to their potentially hazardous responses to global warming. Thus, the timing is ripe for an integrative session on the processes and implications of volcano-ice interactions.

 

We invite contributions at all spatial/temporal scales from field, geochemical, and geophysical studies as well as experimental and numerical simulations of specific glaciovolcanic phenomena. We also welcome reviews such as impacts of magmatism on ice sheets and climate, hazards/risks from changes to glacierized volcanoes, and advancements in our knowledge of glaciovolcanism on Mars.
