From plutons to eruptions: Lithospheric-scale architecture of magmatic systems from multidisciplinary approaches

Session ID#: 282952

Session Description:
Magmatic systems are increasingly understood as transcrustal networks that span the upper mantle, crust, and volcanic edifice, with storage and transport occurring across multiple depths. This session aims to characterize such systems at all depth levels by integrating interdisciplinary views from volcanology, geophysics, petrology, thermomechanical modeling, and field geology. We encourage presentations that investigate the structure of magmatic systems, including but not limited to, the nature (e.g., liquid vs. crystal dominated), depth, size, and shapes of active portions of the system, how magma is transported, and the physical and chemical interaction of magmas during storage or ascent. We welcome a diversity of methodologies, including seismic imaging, seismic and geodetic characterization of volcanotectonic activity and magmatic processes, magnetotelluric and other electromagnetic studies, petrologic studies of magma plumbing systems, and field mapping and petrologic studies of exhumed magmatic systems. We particularly encourage presentations that attempt to interpret findings in an interdisciplinary context.
