Dear MSA-ers,
It's the last week before the Goldschmidt 2020 deadline in Hawaii (
https://goldschmidt.info/2020/index)!
We would like to invite you to submit your abstract to our session:
Examining Mantle Sources and Magmatic Processes Through the Geochemistry
of Intraplate and Hotspot Magmas
Keynote: Sally Gibson
Invited: Jasper Konter, Sarah Mazza
Intraplate volcanism in continental and oceanic regions provides
constraints on the composition and evolution of the mantle through time.
The wide variety of geochemical and isotopic signatures in intraplate
magmas is a window into the diverse world of mantle heterogeneity and
chemical transport within the Earth. Additionally, the specific nature of
production and evolution of intraplate melts is still uncertain
particularly in cratonic environments. This session will focus on the
latest developments in the study of hotspot and intraplate magmas and their
mantle sources, with applications to metasomatism, crustal recycling,
mantle heterogeneity, melt generation, and other topics on the behavior and
evolution of Earth’s interior. We welcome contributions that examine the
petrology, mineralogy, redox state, trace element and isotope geochemistry
of basalts, kimberlites, lamprophyres, and other melts that teach us about
the mantle sources and magmatic evolution of hotspot and intraplate magmas.
The Goldschmidt abstract submission deadline is February 14th!
Sincerely,
Ed Marshall, Angus Fitzpayne, Laura Miller, Michael Bizimis
