Hello,
The time is almost upon us! The deadline to submit an abstract for Goldschmidt 2024 is almost here (March 29th). We would like to draw your attention to our session entitled:
Session 4f: Volatile Cycling, from Mantle to Crust: Experimental, Geological, and Numerical Insights
Session description:
Subduction zones and their associated volcanoes are loci for volatile element cycling on Earth. Critically,
volatile elements determine how magmatic systems form and develop in this setting. They exert strong
control on melt formation and subsequent differentiation, drive both explosive volcanism and ore
formation after exsolution, and ultimately modulate atmospheric composition over geologic timescales.
That said, critical knowledge gaps exist within our understanding of how these elements are carried
from Earth’s surface into the mantle and back out again. This session seeks interdisciplinary studies
focused on enhancing our understanding of magmatic volatile element cycling and the roles they play in
the compositional evolution of the Earth, volcanic eruption styles and forecasting, and in the formation
of critical mineral ores.
We invite contributions based on field observations, geochemical investigation (including petrologic and
gas emission studies), experimental petrology, and numerical modelling with emphasis on volatile
budgets and degassing, slab dehydration, partial melting, transport mechanisms, mixed volatile
solubilities, and ore formation. Submissions from early career scientists and from under-represented
groups are strongly encouraged.
Please consider submitting your research for presentation in our session. We hope to see you in Chicago!
Best,
