Abstract

MAARE is an interdisciplinary research initiative to enhance our understanding of magma ascent, accumulation and reservoir evolution in intra-continental settings. Examples of core questions addressed by the MAARE research initiative comprise: · What are past and current conditions in transcrustal magmatic reservoirs at different depths? · How do magmatic fluids migrate through the crust and how do they trigger reservoir unrest? · What are the spatio-temporal controls on volcanism in low-flux systems? · What are realistic eruption scenarios and forecast uncertainties in low probability, high impact volcanic regions? · How can distributed volcanic fields be monitored in a comprehensive manner and how can small precursory signals reliably be interpreted? · What are pitfalls in communicating volcanic hazard research and risk? The aim of the lecture series is to develop a common understanding of the key questions, to develop new ideas and to initiate joint research projects.
