Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to the 2026 Goldschmidt conference in
Montreal, Canada (July 12-17).
Session 03a Subduction-zone chemical geodynamics (session in honor of Gray
Bebout).
Keynote speaker: Gray Bebout
Session description:
Element redistribution among mineral, fluid and melt in subduction zones
has strong impact on crustal geochemical diversity (including ore genesis),
mantle heterogeneity and surface environment. Gray Bebout's pioneering
research investigating subduction-related metamorphic rocks has
significantly advanced the understanding of the behavior of volatile and
fluid-mobile elements in subduction zones and their applications to trace
crust-mantle interaction, deep mantle recycling and surface emission. In
honor of Gray Bebout's contributions, this session invites presentations of
mineralogical, petrological, geochemical and/or thermodynamic insights from
field observations, laboratory experiments, theoretical calculations,
modeling and machine learning into the understanding of elemental mobility,
flux and fate during processes across subduction zones (e.g., source
enrichment, metamorphic fluid release, deep recycling and return to the
surface) and their effects on long-term evolution of Earth's subsystems at
various spatial and temporal scales.
Session conveners:
Long Li
Sarah Penniston-Dorland
Samuel Angiboust
Taylor Ducharme
Yunzhe Chen
Abstract submission deadline is February 26, 2026 (23:59 ET/UTC-5). Details

We hope you can join us for this exciting session!
