Magma reservoirs: a joint Petrology, Geochemistry, Geophysics, and Geodesy image
Magma reservoirs: a joint Petrology, Geochemistry, Geophysics, and Geodesy image
Session ID#: 76143
Session Description:
This session targets petrologists, geochemists, geophysicists, and colleagues involved in numerical modelling to increase our capacity of interpreting geophysical signals in active magmatic systems. Petrologists and geochemists study the details of geological samples, ex post-facto, and produce models valid for the long-term evolution of magmatic systems. The extrapolation of these findings to timescales shorter than the lifetime of a magmatic system may be complicated. On the other hand geophysical surveys provide essential data on the large-scale current structure of magmatic systems. To correctly assess the state of magmatic systems and their temporal evolution we must diffuse or eliminate existing boundaries of spatial and temporal resolution of our datasets. This will improve our capacity to forecast the evolution of volcanic unrest but lead to better understanding of the conditions required for the formation of geothermal and mineral resources associated with magmatic systems.
