| Invitation | ||
| On behalf of the hosting INGV
geochemistry community we are pleased to invite you to participate
in the 2005 Gas Workshop to be held in Southern Italy, during the
first ten days of May. The main topics of the workshop are: - The intercomparison of the field methodology (direct sampling, remote sensing, soil gas measurements) - Developments in modelling geochemical data, in the context of general and particular problems of "chemical geodynamics" (volcano monitoring, volcano degassing, atmospheric chemistry, fluxes and recycling of volatiles, organic volcano-chemistry, etc) Southern Italy is home, of course, to many volcanoes including Mt. Etna, the Aeolian Islands (Vulcano, Stromboli, Panarea, etc,), Pantelleria island in the middle of Sicily channel and in Campania (Mt. Vesuvio, Phlegrean Fields, Ischia). If you require further incentives, Southern Italy is also famous for its archaeology, history and art, its friendly and warm people, impressive landscapes, delicious food and good wines. http://www.boglewood.com/sicily/home.html |

| Scientific programme | Top of page | |
| The main themes of the Workshop include: · New techniques, including sample collection, lab analysis and field spectroscopy, for measurement of inorganic, organic gas and aerosol composition (including isotopes) of fumaroles, diffuse emissions and plumes. · Modeling frameworks for interpretation of geochemical data (statistics, thermodynamics, and dynamics of magma degassing). · Atmospheric chemistry of volcanic plumes; environmental and human health impacts of volcanic degassing. · Satellite remote sensing capabilities and observations, including MODIS, ASTER and other instruments. The Workshop will start in Palermo with a programme of oral sessions and demonstrations. Then we will travel to three volcanic areas to compare sampling and sensing methods, focusing on direct sampling, soil degassing, in-plume measurements, remote sensing, and organic geochemistry |

| Volcanic areas: 1) Vulcano Island: Vulcano is the southernmost of the Aeolian Islands. It last erupted in 1888-90 and presently hosts a vigorous fumarole field on the summit crater, with temperatures reaching 400ºC. Low temperature fumaroles are found around the beach areas, and soil degassing is prevalent on and around the flanks of the main cone. The gas geochemistry is diverse and complex, and detailed monitoring efforts have led to sophisticated conceptual models for the magmatic-hydrothermal system active within the volcano. 2) Etna: Mt Etna is one of the world's most active volcanoes, and has been erupting lava flows since September 2004. It is widely regarded as one of the strongest point sources of sulfur and other environmentally significant species to the atmosphere and its summit plume is now the focus of routine surveillance by infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopic methods. Diffuse emissions are also widespread and CO2 monitoring network, remotely controlled, has been installed to survey the volcanic activity. 3) Phlegrean Fields: The Phlegrean Fields caldera formed about 35,000 years ago with the eruption of 80 cubic km of ash (the Campanian Tuff). The caldera is about 13 km in diameter and includes numerous cones and craters. The caldera is about 25 km west of Vesuvius and 5 km west-southwest of Naples. We will visit Solfatara, birthplace of volcanic gas geochemistry. |

| Arrivals/departures | Top of page | |
| The two main international
airports in Italy are Milan (Malpensa) and Rome (Fiumicino). From
there you can reach Palermo International Airport, through various
daily flights. Note that the programme finishes in Naples, where you
can find an International airport. There are also flights to Palermo
and Naples offered by various no frills airlines operating in Europe.
The Aeolian Islands are also readily reached via either Catania or
Reggio Calabria airports, followed by bus/train and ship/hydrofoil
connections. http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/23d37/9/2dc2/ |
