[Aqualist] AGU session V45 - Volcanic eruptions and climate change: past to present

[Barrows, Timothy]

Dear colleagues,

The abstract submission is now open for this year's AGU Fall Meeting,
which will be held in San Francisco from 5 to 9 December. We would
like to draw your attention to our session, "Volcanoes and Climate Change:
Past to Present" (session V45). A description of our session follows:

The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in research on the
relationship between volcanic eruptions and climate. This renaissance
has been driven by new insights about the climatic and meteorological
impacts of small eruptions as well as new theoretical models for the
effects of geoengineering schemes and limited nuclear exchanges which
draw on the behavior of large eruptions. The goal of this session is to
bring together various perspectives on volcanic eruptions and climate,
ranging from small eruptions like Eyjafjallajokull to large super-eruptions
like Toba and spanning the Quaternary to the recent, with the expectation
that the cross-fertilization of ideas among disciplines will further advance
the underlying science.

If you are doing research relevant to this topic, we strongly encourage you
to submit an abstract. The deadline for all submissions is 4 August 23:59
EDT/03:59 +1 GMT. More information about the Conference is available
at http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/

Thank you very much for your consideration,
