Dear fluid and melt inclusions enthusiasts!
are you interested in fluid and melt inclusions in the upper crust, in magmatic and/or sedimentary rocks, or in mineralized bodies? We have the right session for you at the next 3rd International Association of GeoChemistry (IAGC) and WRI18 - AIG15 Conference, in Cagliari (Italy), June 16th -21st 2025!
“Fluid inclusions and the investigation of fluid-rock interaction in the upper crust” Conveners: Silvio Ferrero (UniCa) and Giovanni Ruggeri (IGG-CNR)
Fluids and melts are fundamental for most of the geological processes taking place on our planet and beyond, and yet they are often difficult to target – unless we find fluid and melt inclusions in natural rocks! These portions of preserved fluids, often micrometric in scale, can be found in many minerals from sedimentary basin, fossil and recent hydrothermal systems, magmatic rocks and mineralized bodies. Fluid and melt inclusions investigation in all these geological settings has been ongoing for almost two centuries. Yet, this field of study keeps having a crucial role in unravelling Earth’s evolution and the redistribution-reconcentration of natural materials, from fossil fuels to critical raw materials in high demand for the ongoing green revolution. This session aims to bring together specialists of inclusion studies from the broad spectrum of Earth sciences to display the most recent advancements of fluid inclusion studies in sedimentary, magmatic and ore deposits, in order to promote fruitful contaminations across disciplines.
Our invited speaker will be Matthew Steele-MacInnis (University of Alberta, Canada).
The deadline for abstract submission is February 15th, 2025. For more info see https://www.unica-wri-18.it/sessions-list/
More information on the conference and fieldtrips can be found at the website https://www.unica-wri-18.it/https://socminpet.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc3ca19451bac7883bbdfc941&id=e457a6727c&e=cd66aa9cd2.
Looking forward to seeing you in Cagliari,

"In those early days people laughed at me.
They quoted Saussure who had said that it was not a proper thing
to examine mountains with microscopes, and ridiculed my action in every way.
Most luckily I took no notice of them"
(Henry Clifton Sorby)
To many petrologists
a volatile component is exactly like a Maxwell daemon;
it does just what one may wish it to do.
