Dear All, In anticipation of another great EGU General Assembly (May 3-8), we would like to draw your attention to the following co-organized session: The metamorphic rock record: pieces of the lithospheric puzzle [GMPV7.1/GD4/TS2] A description is provided below and can be found here: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/35252 Abstract submission is open until Wednesday Jan. 15th, 13:00 CET. Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna! Best wishes, Matthijs, Daniela, Tom & Lucie The metamorphic rock record: pieces of the lithospheric puzzle GMPV7.1; Co-organized by GD4/TS2 Conveners: Matthijs Smit, Daniela Rubatto, Tom Raimondo, Lucie Tajcmanova Invited speakers: Sarah Incel (University of Oslo), Richard Palin (University of Oxford) >From the Archean to the present, the dynamic evolution of the lithosphere is preserved in the metamorphic rock record. Each piece of evidence on mineral reactions, deformation and fluid-rock interaction helps to reconstruct the puzzle of lithospheric tectonics in all its complexity. Analytical and conceptual innovations in petrology, geochemistry, chronology, structural analysis and thermodynamic/thermomechanical modelling continue to improve our ability to read the metamorphic rock record and open new avenues for future development. This session will highlight research in integrated metamorphic petrology and its application to solid earth behaviour in orogens, subduction zones and cratons throughout geological time. We welcome contributions across the breadth of this field—from petrology, (petro-)chronology, trace-element and isotope geochemistry to microstructures, modelling and geodynamics—with a focus on metamorphic and metasomatic processes that shape the lithosphere across a range of scales. _____________ Matthijs A.

Dear colleagues: We wish to bring your attention to the following session at the upcoming Goldschmidt Conference in Hawaii, USA, June 21-26, 2020: 11a: Microbial Influences on Formation, Weathering, and Transportation of Minerals and Metals Session conveners: Prof. Xiancai Lu, Dr. Zhen Li We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to this session. As you can see from the description below, we hope that the session would bring together scientists in the field of microbial-mineral-metal interactions: This symposium aims to communicate the newest & diversified findings to advance our interdisciplinary understanding of microbial influences on formation, weathering, and transportation of minerals and metals. The microorganisms in this topic will include bacteria, fungi, althea, algae, and virus. The topics that will be covered in this session are, but not limited to: 1) Microorganism-induced biomineralization, weathering, and dissolution of phosphates, carbonates, sulfates, etc.; 2) Regulation of elemental geochemistry of metals, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, etc. by microorganisms; 3) Field study and reactive transport modeling of microbial regulation on formation, weathering, and transportation of minerals and metals; and 4) Application of microorganisms and earth materials in environmental remediation, soil management, and economic geology.
