AGU Chapman Conference on Hawaiian Volcanoes: From Source to Surface

查普曼会议是由美国地球物理联合会主办的专题会议，旨在促进讨论大型会议上通常不存在的科学问题的机会。对夏威夷火山的研究对火山学的发展产生了深远的影响，特别是在过去的一个世纪里。频繁的喷发活动和便利的交通使夏威夷成为一个天然的火山学实验室，1912年夏威夷火山观测站的建立就是一个缩影。从那时起，夏威夷火山一直是岩浆上升、储存、运输和喷发模型的试验场，结果适用于世界各地和其他星球上的类似火山。夏威夷是热点火山活动的典范，也是全球构造和地幔结构模型中的关键元素。此外，夏威夷火山的活动刺激了技术的发展，导致了地球物理方法的显著进步，导致了世界上许多其他火山都复制的最先进的地震和大地测量网络。查普曼火山会议将于2012年8月20日至24日举行，同一年，夏威夷火山观测站将庆祝其成立一百周年。这一机会提供了一个机会，以回顾了解夏威夷火山如何运作的最新技术，并评估需要今后研究的最重要问题。会议将持续5天，包括受邀演讲和来稿演讲，以及海报。将组织专题会议，跟踪岩浆从地幔的起源点，通过次火山管道系统，到地表喷发，作为讨论岩浆起源、上升和喷发的观察和模型的一种手段。最后一天将讨论夏威夷未来的研究目标，以及夏威夷火山工作如何推动地球科学新技术和新方法的发展。会议日程中的一天将专门进行实地考察，为与会者提供机会探索该岛周围的火山名胜区，并在非正式环境中与同事互动。还将提供会前和会后实地考察，以最大限度地扩大与会者对夏威夷火山的接触。更广泛的影响。会议召集人将鼓励广泛参与，尤其希望吸引研究生和早期职业科学家，因为他们代表了下一代地球科学家和各自领域的未来领导者。青年研究人员和有经验的科学家之间的互动将为双向信息传输提供一个论坛。召集人正在考虑出版一本AGU专著，题为？夏威夷火山：从源头到地表，？这将总结目前对夏威夷火山作用的认识状况。对夏威夷火山最重要的研究问题的见解将在一份白皮书中总结，该白皮书旨在指导未来对夏威夷火山过程的研究，并向评估相关研究建议的资助机构提供信息。

Chapman Conferences are topic meetings sponsored by the American Geophysical Union and are designed to promote opportunities to discuss scientific issues that are not normally available at larger meetings.Intellectual Merits. Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes have had a profound impact on the development of volcanology, especially over the past century. Frequent eruptive activity and ease of access make Hawaii a natural laboratory for volcanology as epitomized by establishment of the Hawaii Volcano Observatory in 1912. Since then, Hawaiian volcanoes have served as a testing ground for models of magma ascent, storage, transport, and eruption, with results applicable to similar volcanoes worldwide and on other planets. Hawaii is the paradigm for hotspot volcanism, and is a key element in models of global tectonics and mantle structure. In addition, activity of Hawaiian volcanoes has spurred technological developments that have led to outstanding advances in geophysical methods, leading to state-of-the-art seismic and geodetic networks that have been replicated at many other volcanoes worldwide.A Chapman conference on Hawaiian Volcanoes will be held August 20-24, 2012, the same year that the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory marks the Centennial of its founding. This occasion provides an opportunity to review the state-of-the-art in understanding of how Hawaiian volcanoes work and to assess the most important problems requiring future research. The conference will occur over 5 days and will include both invited and contributed talks, as well as posters. Topical sessions will be organized to follow a packet of magma from its point of origin in the mantle, through subvolcanic plumbing systems, to eruption at the surface, as a means of discussing observations and models of magma origin, ascent, and eruption. The last day will feature discussion of future research goals in Hawaii, and how work on Hawaiian volcanoes can drive development of new technologies and methodologies in the Earth sciences. One day in the middle of the conference schedule will be devoted to field trips to offer attendees a chance to explore areas of volcanic interest around the island and interact with colleagues in an informal setting. Pre- and post-meeting field trips will also be available to maximize participant exposure to Hawaiian volcanoes. Broader Impacts. The conference conveners will encourage broad participation and especially hope to attract graduate students and early career scientists, because they represent the next generation of Earth scientists and future leaders in their fields. Interactions between young researchers and experienced scientists will provide a forum for information transfer in both directions. The conveners are considering publishing an AGU monograph entitled ?Hawaiian Volcanoes: From Source to Surface,? that will summarize the current state-of-knowledge of Hawaiian volcanism. Insights into the most important research questions about Hawaiian volcanoes will be summarized in a white paper intended to guide future research on Hawaiian volcanic processes and to inform funding agencies that evaluate related research proposals.
