Hello, My fellow conveners and I would like to call your attention to our session at the Fall 2026 AGU meeting in San Francisco (Dec. 7-11): V009: From Melt to Granite: Growth and Post-Emplacement History of the Continental Crust. This session welcomes abstracts concerning anything and everything broadly related to granites. Abstract submissions by graduate students and early-career researchers are encouraged! Abstracts are due August 5th (23:59 EDT/03:59 UTC). Title: V009: From Melt to Granite: Growth and Post-Emplacement History of the Continental Crust Description: Continental crust is built, reworked, and preserved through an integrated history of magmatic, metamorphic, and tectonic processes. Silicic magmatic systems and the granitoids they leave behind provide a record of these processes, from magma generation and transport to emplacement, crystallization, and subsequent alteration and deformation. Unraveling this record requires observations across a range of scales, from mineral zoning to batholith formation. This session invites studies that investigate pluton and batholith assembly as well as those that examine the lifecycle of continental crust. Topics include pre-emplacement histories, mechanisms of magma emplacement, and post-emplacement structural, geochemical, and petrologic evolution. We welcome contributions from a variety of perspectives (e.g., field observations, laboratory analyses, and modeling approaches) drawing on petrology, petrography, geochronology, geochemistry, and petrochemistry. Contributions that explore the role of magmatic to hydrothermal fluids in crustal evolution, as well as studies spanning tectonic settings from orogenic belts to extensional regimes, are encouraged. Key terms: Magma chamber processes, radiogenic isotope geochemistry, major and trace element geochemistry, pluton emplacement Invited Speaker: Claire Ruggles, University of Wisconsin – Madison and Ludmila Maria Fonseca Teixeira, University of California, Riverside       Abstract Submission Link: https://www.agu.org/annual-meeting/present?tab=overview Session Link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/prelim.cgi/Session/282275 Cheers, Alexis R.
