Dear Colleagues,
The abstract submission deadline (15 January 2026, 13:00 CET) for EGU 2026 is approaching quickly.
We invite contributions on the behavior of carbon and hydrogen throughout Earth's interior, from deep mantle to shallow crust. We particularly welcome studies employing geochemical, petrological, experimental, computational, and modeling approaches that address:
Carbon and hydrogen from mantle to crust: speciation, transport, and resource formation (https://www.egu26.eu/session/57787 https://www.egu26.eu/pg/GMPV#)
C and H speciation and fractionation in minerals, melts, and fluids under varying redox conditions
Carbon and hydrogen budgets and cycling in the bulk silicate Earth
The roles of C and H throughout Earth's history
Implications for C-H-bearing mineral and energy resource formation
Session Details:
Convener: Huaiwei Ni
Co-conveners: Bin Chen, Guanghui Yuan, Sylvie Demouchy, Zhijun Jin
Solicited Speaker: Rajdeep Dasgupta
This session provides an excellent forum to present research on volatile cycling, mantle-crust interactions, and the fundamental processes governing planetary evolution and resource formation.
We look forward to your contributions and to stimulating discussions at the session.
Best regards,
Bin Chen
On behalf of the convening team
