GSA Cordilleran session on Active Volcano-Glacier Interactions

[Rick Wessels]

Dear GLIMS colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to a theme session on "Active 
Volcano-Glacier Interactions:  Process, Products, Hazards" that will occur 
at the GSA Cordilleran Section meeting in Bellingham, WA from May 4-6, 
2007.  The DEADLINE for electronic submission of abstracts is coming soon 
on February 6, 2007 at 2359 CDT (0459 UTC).  Meeting details may be found 
at http://www.geosociety.org/sectdiv/cord/07cdmtg.htm

Active Volcano-Glacier Interactions: Process, Products, Hazards.
    This session will address the interaction between glacial ice and 
active volcanoes. Unrest at ice-clad volcanoes (including intrusion, 
increases in fumarolic output, and eruptions) can profoundly disturb 
glacial cover, resulting in distinctive seismicity, avalanche, debris 
flow, flood generation, and dramatic changes in glacier topography and 
motion. Recent activity in Alaska and the Cascades have highlighted these 
processes and products and provided new and sometimes surprising glimpses 
into the behavior of ice during eruptions. This session will present 
recent examples of volcano-ice interaction and what has been learned about 
physical process and resulting hazards.

Convenors:
Tina Neal, USGS-Alaska Volcano Observatory [tneal at usgs.gov]
Rick Wessels, USGS-Alaska Volcano Observatory [rwessels at usgs.gov]
Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, Western Washington Uuniversity

Best Regards,
