******************************************************************** From: Dougal Jerram <d.a.jerram@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ******************************************************************** Session V33: Advances in analyzing rock textures and microgeochemistry Igneous and metamorphic textures have attracted much attention because they provide detailed information about the crystallization history of rocks. Textures reflect the complex interaction between nucleation and growth that occurred in the rock as a result of changing physical and chemical conditions. Metamorphic and igneous petrologists have studied these aspects from different perspectives. This session aims to shed light on advances in the analytical methods for textural and microchemical analysis, e.g. quantifying mineral textures, 2D and 3D analysis of rock textures (CSD) as well as the interpretation of such data in a variety of geological settings. To advance our understanding of the fundamental processes governing mineral formation, we invite contributions from all research areas that cover metamorphic and igneous aspects of texture formation and microchemical analysis. Contributions based on observations from the field and experiments, as well as theoretical and modeling studies, are welcome.
