******************************************************* Jackie Dixon <jdixon@xxxxxxxxx> ******************************************************* Friends, We would like to draw your attention to a special session at the upcoming Goldschmidt 2008 meeting in Vancouver. The abstract deadline (March 1) is approaching fast! Abstracts may be submitted online at: http://www.goldschmidt2008.org/abstracts/instructions We look forward to seeing you there. Session 08f: From Subduction Zones to Plumes and Ridges: Volatile Cycles and the Role of Volatiles in the Mantle Convenors: Jacqueline Dixon, Marc Hirschmann Keynote: Charles Langmuir Invited Speaker: Manuel Moreira Earth's global geochemical volatile cycling impacts melt generation, physical properties of mantle materials, mantle heterogeneity and planetary evolution. We invite talks that characterize volatile concentrations, including C-O-H-S species, halogens, rare gases and stable isotopic compositions of magmas and their mantle sources in mid-ocean ridge, oceanic island, and arc settings. We also encourage contributions on the origin and history of terrestrial volatiles and their behavior over geologic time, the effect of volatiles on mantle melting, regional heterogeneity in mantle volatile concentrations, modeling of volatile cycles and the effects of volatiles on mantle heterogeneity and physical properties.
