****************************************************************** From: Andrew Calvert <acalvert@xxxxxxxx> ****************************************************************** We would like to announce a special session on timescales of geochemical changes at the July, 2008 Goldschmidt meeting in Vancouver. Abstracts are due March 1 and may be submitted only at: http://www.goldschmidt2008.org/abstracts/instructions Session 10c: Temporal geochemical evolution of active magmatic systems Convenors: Julie Bryce, Andy Calvert and Karen Harpp Keynote speaker: Georg Zellmer (Academia Sinica, Nankang) Invited speaker: Mariek Schmidt (Smithsonian) Recent studies, driven by enhanced analytical capabilities, shed new insight on time scales relevant to magma formation, transport, storage and eruption. We seek contributions describing these recent advances in our understanding of temporal geochemical evolution in active magmatic centers. We are especially interested in studies integrating temporal and chemical studies of (1) magmatic processes as recorded in phenocrysts and other eruptive materials, (2) links between plutonic and volcanic systems, (3) mechanisms and time scales of crustal assimilation, (4) primary melt generation and magma dynamics, and (5) individual volcanic centers and flows. Please join us.
