Dear all, We would like to call your attention to the session titled “DI009: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Mantle Melting and Volcanism” at AGU Fall Meeting 2017 to be held in New Orleans from 11 – 15 December 2017. We welcome you to submit your abstracts to this session by going to https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session23792. The deadline is exactly a week from today (i.e. Wednesday 3 August 2017). The description of our session is as follows: Session ID#: 23792 Melting within the Earth, across a range of depths, has fundamental consequences for planetary dynamics and evolution. Yet, questions regarding source composition, melt migration and distribution, in situ melt fraction, and magma storage and evolution remain unanswered. We invite contributions from studies of asthenosphere/lithosphere melting in various tectonic environments (e.g., mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, hotspots), as well as deep planetary melting (e.g., transition zone, magma ocean). Topics covered by this session include: (1) magmatic processes in the presence of volatiles and heterogeneous rock assemblages, (2) melt migration and melt-rock interaction, (3) melting and solidification at the core-mantle boundary, (4) imaging melt within the Earth through seismic or magnetotelluric approaches, (5) plume vs. non-plume origin of intraplate volcanism, and (6) magmatic processes and the evolution of magmas in the early Earth. We solicit research that combines the strengths of geochemistry, petrology, geology, geodynamics, geophysics, and mineral physics. Our confirmed invited speakers are: Esteban Gazel (Cornell University) Tobias Keller (Stanford University) We look forward to your submission.
