Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to another interesting session at
the EGU General Assembly 2010 which will be held from 02 - 07 May in
Vienna, Austria. Session GMPV14 is entitled "Volcanic and non-volcanic
degassing of volatiles: Sources, mechanisms, applications and
atmospheric impact". Abstracts can be submitted no later than 18
January 2010 via the conference website:

http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/1961

A description of the session follows. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna.

Best regards,

Christoph Kern and Marie Edmonds



GMPV14
Volcanic and non-volcanic degassing of volatiles:
Sources, mechanisms, applications and atmospheric impact

The degassing of volatile species from the Earth's interior into the
atmosphere has become a rapidly evolving research field. Volatile
budgets elucidate geophysical and geochemical processes occurring on
geological time scales as volatile species are cycled from the mantle
through magmas into the atmosphere and back to the mantle via
subduction. Laboratory experiments coupled with modelling allows
detailed analysis of volatile source strengths and magma degassing
mechanisms, whilst novel field measurement techniques yield insights
into the degassing processes observed at the surface. Once emitted into
the atmosphere, rapid cooling and mixing with ambient air leads to
chemical and meteorological processing of the emitted species. This
session will focus on these aspects of volatile degassing. We
specifically encourage contributions discussing the application of
measurement (both volatiles in magmas and in the air) and modelling
studies to attain increased understanding of volcanic and atmospheric
processes. In particular, novel applications for volcanic risk
assessment and eruption prediction are welcome, as well as studies
dealing with the impact of volatile degassing on atmospheric chemistry
on local and global scales.
