***************************************************************** From: Adam Kent <adam.kent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ***************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, Please consider contributing to a special session organized by Monica Handler and myself on non-traditional tracers of arc processes at the upcoming Goldschmidt meeting in Davos (June 21-26 2009). Abstracts are due by 22 Feb (see www.goldschmidt2009.org/index). Further details are below. Novel tracers of slab components and new insights into the evolution of arc magmas (session 06c) Description Our understanding of crustal and fluid recycling and magmatic evolution at subduction zones is being revolutionised through the application of increasingly diverse non-traditional geochemical tracers, ranging for example, from light elements (e.g. Li, Be, B, N) to chalcophile elements (e.g. Re, PGE), halogen and transition metal stable isotopes to U-series isotopes. This session seeks contributions that utilise non-traditional and novel geochemical tracers to investigate subduction zone processes, including timescales and mechanisms, from deep recycling through to high-level magmatic processes. Contributions that integrate several approaches or highlight novel applications of abundance or isotopic systems are particularly encouraged. Invited Speakers Tim Elliot (Keynote; Bristol), Alison Shaw (WHOI), Jaime Barnes (Univ. New Mexico) Convenors Monica Handler (Victoria University of Wellington) Adam Kent (Oregon State University) ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
