Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group Annual Meeting 2013 School of Earth Sciences University of Bristol 7th-9th January 2013 Supported by The Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland; registered charity number 233706. VMSG 2013 – Welcome Welcome Bristol Volcanology welcomes you to VMSG 2013! Volcanology research at Bristol spans a truly wide range, encompassing everything from fluid dynamics and volcano physics to magmatic petrology, geochemistry, and risk assessment. We are pleased to be welcoming over 230 delegates from the U.K. and abroad to this year’s conference. Following the success of VMSG 2012, we have maintained a two-and-a-half day format and have scheduled dedicated poster sessions throughout the day on Tuesday. Oral sessions were vastly oversubscribed, and over 70% of the received abstracts are presented as posters, so please use poster sessions as an opportunity to take in the majority of the presented research. Bristol Earth Sciences The University College Bristol was founded in 1876 and was the first university in the country to admit women on an equal basis to their male counterparts. King Edward VII approved the Charter creating the University of Bristol in 1909. Today the university comprises six faculties, with over 13,000 undergraduates and over 4000 postgraduates. The School of Earth Sciences is located in the neo-Gothic Wills Memorial Building. Geology has been offered as a subject since 1876, when topics such as solid crust, minerals, volcanoes and the history of the Earth were taught. For two lectures a week for two terms, this would cost you a sum of £3 and 3 shillings. Today, the School has six highly active research groups studying such diverse topics as climate, seismology, palaeobiology, petrology and geochemistry, and geologic hazards. Acknowledgments The Organising Committee gratefully acknowledges the Mineralogical Society for running the online registration and financial aspects of the conference and the VMSG Committee for their support throughout the organisation of this meeting. Hazel Bunting of the Bristol University Conference Office assisted with the venue hire and was endlessly helpful in accommodating the large number of poster presentations. We also thank our supporters (as of early December), Springer, AWE, SciMed, Thermo Fisher, Oxford Instruments, and FEI, as well as the Clifton Hotels Group and the The Grand Hotel by Thistle for offering discounted rates to delegates. Lorraine Field of the British Geological Survey provided many of the images used in publicity materials. Thanks again to all members of the Bristol Volcanology Research Group who have contributed to the organisation of this meeting and are not named below. Finally, cheers to those of you whose abstracts required no reformatting – you are the true heroes of VMSG 2013.
