Please consider submitting an abstract to the upcoming session "Recent Advances in Studies of Large-Volume Silicic Volcanism: Stratigraphy, Architecture, Evolution" (T25) at the GSA Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, MN, 9th-12th October 2011. This session is co-sponsored by the GSA MGPV Division, GSA SGT Division, and the MSA. Voluminous silicic volcanism is a fundamental type of magmatic activity, though its causes remain enigmatic. This session highlights all aspects of large-volume silicic volcanism, emphasizing studies of volcanic field architecture, eruptive styles, and spatial-temporal evolution. We are particularly interested into the relationship(s) between large-volume silicic volcanism and continental rifting. We are very keen to solicit abstracts from students and early-career researchers (like ourselves) and to see a diverse range of topics, data-sets, and techniques represented.
