* Solving geo- and planetary science problems using mineralogy*

/Mineralogy is the cornerstone of many disciplines and is used to
solve a wide range of questions in geoscience. This broad session
offers the opportunity to explore the diversity of methods and
approaches used to study minerals and how minerals behave and evolve
in their many contexts. Also, we will address issues that involve
the use and development of spectroscopic techniques and the relevant
ab initio simulations beyond current applications in metamorphic and
magmatic petrology applied to the Earth and other planetary bodies.
We welcome contributions on all aspects of mineralogy, including
environmental, soil science, metamorphic, plutonic, deep Earth,
planetary, applied mineralogy, and so on. All approaches are
welcome: analytical, experimental and theoretical./

Dear colleagues, we would like to call your attention to the session *GMPV2.1* which will take place at the next *EGU’s General Assembly* in Vienna (Austria) from the *27th April to 2nd May 2025*. * Solving geo- and planetary science problems using mineralogy* Conveners: Jannick Ingrin (UMET, CNRS - France), Melanie J. Sieber (Uni Potsdam - Germany), Stylianos Aspotis (Uni Hamburg - Germany), Mara Murri  (Uni Pavia - Italy) and Marta Berkesi (HUN-REN - Hungary) /Mineralogy is the cornerstone of many disciplines and is used to solve a wide range of questions in geoscience.
