Please consider applying to participate in the Penrose conference on
low delta-18O magmas that will be held next September. Description is
below. The conference has been formally approved by the Geological
Society of America (GSA)
Peter Larson (Washington State University)
Ilya Bindeman (University of Oregon)
John Wolff (Washington State University)
PENROSE CONFERENCE
Low delta-18O rhyolites and crustal melting: growth and redistribution
of the continental crust
Twin Falls, Idaho and Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
9-13 September, 2009
Conveners:
Peter Larson, Washington State University, School of Earth and
Environmental Sciences, Pullman, WA 99164-2812, plarson@xxxxxxx
Ilya Bindeman, University of Oregon, Department of the Geological
Sciences, 1272 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403,
bindeman@xxxxxxxxxxx
John Wolff, Washington State University, School of Earth and
Environmental Sciences, Pullman, WA 99164-2812, jawolff@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Description and Objectives
There has been a renewed interest in the past several years in the
genesis of low-d18O rhyolites and shallow magma genesis. This
resurgence has been stimulated by a combination of the application of
new analytical and the discovery of voluminous low delta-18O rhyolites
in the Snake River Plain, Idaho. Low delta-18O rhyolites are important
because oxygen is the most abundant element in igneous rocks, and it
provides fundamental evidence about crustal processes that form
rhyolite magmas.
Keynote Presentations by: HP Taylor, K.Muehlenbachs, C. Harris,
G. Bergantz
Proposed Itinerary:
Tuesday, 8 September Arrive in Twin Falls, ID
Wednesday, 9 September Overview of Low delta-18O Magmas: A
Historical Prospective and Low-d18O Basalts
Thursday, 10 September The Genesis of Rhyolite Magmas and
Snake River Plain Low-d18O Rhyolites
Friday, 11 September Field Trip – Conference moves
from Snake River Plain to Yellowstone National Park
Saturday, 12 September Recycling of Rhyolite Magmas and
Constraints on Shallow Crustal Melting
Sunday, 13 September Low delta-18O Rhyolite
Sources: Hydrothermal Alteration
Rhyolites: What Now?
Monday, 14 September Departures from Twin Falls, ID
or Bozeman, MT
Participants will have to commit to attending the full five (5) days
of the meeting plus travel time in and out of conference.
Application Deadline: 20 April, 2009
The conference will be limited to about 75 participants and
participants must apply to attend.
To apply, please contact conveners: Ilya Bindeman
(bindeman@xxxxxxxxxxx), Peter Larson (plarson@xxxxxxx), or John Wolff
(jawolff@xxxxxxx) by Tuesday, 20 April, 2009 by email with a letter
of intent that includes a brief statement of interests, the relevance
of applicant's recent work to the themes of the Conference, the
subject of a proposed presentation, and contact information. Once you
have been selected to participate, we will forward you contact
information to the GSA Penrose organization, and they will send you
detailed registration information.
Attendees and Estimated Cost:
Participation of graduate students is encouraged, and partial support
to attend the meeting is being actively sought by the organizers.
Participants must make their own travel arrangements to and from Twin
Falls, ID. The registration fee will be confirmed by the end of
March, and it will cover six (6) night's hotel lodging (8-13
September), meals, guidebook, and transportation between Twin Falls,
ID and Yellowstone National Park. We anticipate the cost to be
approximately $1300 USD per person for double occupancy.
