IAVCEI 2008 - GENERAL ASSEMBLY Reykjavik - Iceland - 18th to 25th of August 2008 - On behalf of the Icelandic earth science community we invite scientists from around the globe to participate in the 2008 IAVCEI General Assembly to be held in Reykjavik, Iceland, from 18th to 25th of August. The main theme of the meeting will be "Understanding Volcanoes". The meeting is devoted to volcanism and volcano-tectonics in all environments, and the impact of volcanic eruptions on the surface environment and human activities. Also a variety of short intra-meeting as well as extended pre- and post-meeting field excursions under the umbrellas of Ocean island volcanism. Contact information Bookings and all logistical arrangements are being handled by the Congress Reykjavík: Contact person:

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE After the success of the First Workshop on Collapse Calderas held at Las Cañadas caldera, Tenerife, Spain on October, 2005, it was decided to continue to meet regularly to discuss the new advances on caldera research. The Second Workshop on Collapse Calderas will take place between October 19-25, 2008 in Mexico. The venue is close to the Pliocene Amealco caldera, about 70 km from Querétaro City, State of Queretaro, in central Mexico (about 200 km to the NW of Mexico City). The purpose of the workshop is to evaluate the present state of knowledge on collapse calderas, focusing on the reconstruction of the evolution of collapse calderas, magma storage, mobilization and eruption processes. Sessions are organized according to different research disciplines: geology, petrology, geophysics, modeling, hazard/risk management, and economic benefits. In order to achieve these objectives we wish to gather a group of scientists interested in discussing these topics. We will also carry out a 2-day field trip to the nearby Amealco and Amazcala calderas located in the central Mexican Volcanic Belt. The Workshop is being co-sponsored by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI), the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), and the Grupo Volcanológico de Barcelona-CSIC (GVB-CSIC). Call for papers, deadline and cost: We encourage
the community working on calderas to submit an
extended abstract to the workshop by using the
web link indicated below, or send an E-mail to
either of the conveners. The deadline for
abstract submission is May 15, 2008. Costs are
around US$900, including hotel and meals during
the workshop, fieldtrips, and transportation to
and from Querétaro City to the workshop's venue.
The workshop is limited to 100 participants. Please contact at:

33rd International Geological Congress (IGC), to be held in Oslo, 6-14th of August 2008. Visit the IGC webpage www.33igc.org/ to view the varied program of symposia and wide range of exciting excursions in the Nordic countries! The congress will include the disciplinary symposia MPI-01 "General contributions to igneous petrology" and MPI-06 "Layered intrusions and the evolution of magma chambers - a tribute to J. Richard Wilson". For those concerned about a potential clash with the IAVCEI meeting in Iceland, please note that we have received an assurance from the conference organizers that the MVP-06 session will be held on either the 13th or 14th of August. Guest speakers at the session will provisionally include: Dr. Richard Ernst (Ernst Geosciences: large-scale tectonic framework of Large Igneous Provinces) and Dr. Carl Stevenson (University of Birmingham: New insights into granite emplacement from high resolution AMS studies). Further details concerning, abstract submission, registration, the Geohost stipend, the IGC 2008 scientific programme, etc. may be found at http://www.33igc.org/coco/ The convenors invite your contributions to these particular symposia. Abstracts should be submitted via the IGC webpage www.33igc.org/ before the deadline of the 29th of February 2008 at 24:00.
