Dear colleagues,
      
      The main goal of our session is to provide a forum for Earth and
      Planetary scientists to engage them in broad and detailed
      discussions on volcanic and tectonic processes observed here on
      Earth and elsewhere in our solar system. We would like to
      encourage you to participate in this discussion by providing
      abstracts to our EGU2012 session "Volcanism and Tectonics in the
      Solar System" (TS1.2/GMPV4.14/PS2.10).
      
      We would very much appreciate it if you forward this announcement
      to your students and colleagues. Please be
      reminded that student support applications terminate on 17
      December.
      
      
      We are looking forward to meeting you in Vienna.
      
      Best wishes,
      Thomas Platz
      on behalf of all convenors

      Volcanic and tectonic processes have profoundly shaped the surface
      of terrestrial planets and satellites. This session aims to
      compile all facets of volcanism, tectonism, and associated
      interactions observed in our solar system. By providing a forum
      for a broad range of discussions, these observations and
      interpretations will be investigated and reviewed in the light of
      our current understanding of related processes on Earth.
      Comparative studies and work on active volcanic/tectonic systems
      on Earth using multi-instrumental, remotely sensed, experimental,
      computational, and field data are welcome.
      The session will address, but is not limited to, the following
      topics:
      - geomorphology of volcanic edifices, deposits, vents, and
      fissures
      - volcano-tectonic deformation and edifice growth and collapse
      - tectonic structures, faulting, and fracturing processes
      - intrusion processes, geometry, and associated faulting
      - crustal stress and strain analysis
      - volcaniclastic deposits and their implications for eruptive
      styles, rates, and frequency
      - composition (spectral, meteoritic, etc.) and rheology of lava
      flows
      - volatile release through eruptions and its impact on atmospheres
      - melt generation, lava extrusion, and crustal deformation caused
      by large impactors
      - cryovolcanism, mudvolcanism, and other comparative processes
