V-VMSG Annual General Meeting 6-8 January 2021 Abstract book CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MEETINGS AND EVENTS The Volcanic & Magmatic Studies Group is a Special Interest Group joint between the Geological Society of London and Mineralogical Society. These learned societies are signatories to the Science Council Declaration on Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. Through their members, the Geological Society of London and Mineralogical Society have a duty in the public interest to provide a safe, productive and welcoming environment for all participants and attendees of meetings, workshops, and events regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, physical appearance, or career level. The Volcanic & Magmatic Studies Group has worked with the Geological Society of London and Mineralogical Society on Code of Conduct policies. These are available from https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/codeofconduct and https://www.minersoc.org/code-of- conduct.html. The Code of Conduct outlined below specifically applies to all participants in Volcanic & Magmatic Studies Group activities, including ancillary events and social gatherings. The Volcanic & Magmatic Studies Group expects all participants -- including, but is not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, staff, service providers and representatives to outside bodies -- to uphold the principles of this Code of Conduct. 1.

VMSG2007, Oxford Contents Introduction and Orientation 2 Maps 3 List of Registrants 4 Abstracts of Talks, in order of presentation, Day 1 7 Abstracts of Talks, Day 2 21 Poster Abstracts, in alphabetical order by first author 34 Program summary (Posters) 74 Program summary (Talks) 77 1 VMSG2007, Oxford Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group Winter Meeting, 4-5 January, 2007 Introduction. Welcome to Oxford, and to St Anne’s College. St Anne’s is not a typical Oxbridge college: it was formed as the Society for Home Students in 1879, to provide educational opportunities for women who would not otherwise be able to afford to come to Oxford. It became a full college in 1952, was one of the first Oxford colleges to go co-educational in 1979, and now has one of the largest and most diverse undergraduate intakes in Oxford. Famous alumnae include Edwina Currie, Penelope Lively and Helen Fielding, and the current Principal is Tim Gardam, formerly Director of Programmes at Channel 4. Orientation. The whole meeting is accommodated on site, though pressure of numbers has meant that the poster and lecture sessions are in different buildings. Talks are all in the Mary Ogilvie Lecture Theatre (Room C on the Map); Posters and the drinks reception are in Seminar Rooms 7 and 8 (lower ground floor of the new building, near O); breakfast (for those staying in college), lunches and the conference dinner are all in the dining room (Room B on the Map). On the first evening, the college bar (Room P) is open for refreshments; there is also a good selection of pubs and restaurants across the Woodstock Road, and towards Jericho and the city centre (for example, at the end of Plantation Road, and on Walton Street). -

The toxicity of ash is likely to vary depending on the type and style of eruption; eruptions at dome-forming volcanoes, in particular, can produce ash containing substantial quantities of respirable crystalline silica, a recognised human carcinogen and causative agent of silicosis. -
