Dear Geoscience Community,
The 16th IAGOD Quadrennial Symposium 2026 is in beautiful Porto, Portugal
from August 30 to September 2.
The IOGOD theme is The Role of Geoscience in the Energy Transition
We invite contributions to session 23 Pathways to porphyries: new tools
for discovery from the district to the deposit
Contributions welcomed include mineralogy, geochemistry, petrogenesis,
resources, exploration.
If you work on porphyry deposits, please join us and discuss your research.
Invited speakers:
Chetan Nathwani (Imperial College London)
Ryan Mathur (Juniata College, VectOres Science)
Jack Ward (CODES)
Bo Xu (CUGB)
Zoltan Zajacz (University of Geneva)
Abstract submission closes April 3.
Session 23: Porphyry deposits are a major source of critical minerals, a
vital resource for the electrification of the global economy. These
magmatic-hydrothermal systems are typically associated with oxidised,
hydrous magmas formed at convergent margins and require a conjunction of
geodynamic, magmatic and hydrothermal processes in their genesis. A better
understanding of the complex interplay of these mantle- to crustal-scale
processes and the resulting alteration is vital to improving the
exploration models and targeting techniques for these deposits. This
session will highlight innovative research into the tectonic environments,
magma chemistry, mineralization, and alteration assemblages using a modern,
integrated approaches in geochemistry, isotopic systems, geochronology, and
mineral chemistry of these critical mineral systems. Submissions based on
research on a belt- or district-scale are highly encouraged.
Session Chairs:
Pete Hollings (Lakehead University, Canada),
Xuyang Meng (University of Geosciences, Beijing, China),
Matthew Manor (MDRU, University of British Columbia, Canada),
Mike Baker (CODES, University of Tasmania),
Adam Simon (University of Michigan, USA)
