What Causes Eruptions in Intraplate Volcanic Fields? A DEVORA Workshop

Event details


On 28 Nov, as part of the upcoming GSNZ conference, DEVORA hosted a workshop exploring possible links between eruptions in Auckland and tectonic activity in New Zealand. There were >35 attendees, including experts in volcanology, geophysics, geochemistry, seismicity and NZ tectonics. We discussed what we think may be causing/triggering volcanism within the Auckland Volcanic Field and brainstormed ideas of how we could prove or disprove various theories. The event was a great success and we thank everyone who participated!
