Craig Manning and I are organizing a special session for the Fall 2009
meeting of the American Geophysical Union, San Francisco, December 14-18.
The session title and description are:
V11: Geochemically Complex, Multi-component Fluids and Geologic Processes
Volatile components in hydrothermal fluids exert fundamental controls on
processes of metamorphism, magmatism, alteration and mineralization, and
volcanic eruption. Natural hydrothermal fluids contain complex mixtures of
the volatile components H2O, CO2/CH4, H2S/SO2, Cl, F, ± B. Our
understanding of complex multicomponent fluids is currently limited,
however, because experimental research typically involves only two, or more
rarely, three of these volatile components. Furthermore, the limited nature
of the experimental database has constrained the development of geologically
accurate thermodynamic models that demonstrate how such fluids control
processes of metamorphism, magmatism, alteration and mineralization, and
volcanic eruption. We invite contributions from all avenues of study on
geochemically complex fluids: thermodynamic, experimental,
fluid/melt-inclusion, and hydrous-mineral geochemical studies. In
particular, we encourage submission of contributions that focus on the
interactions and interface between metamorphic/hydrothermal fluids and
magmatic fluids.

Craig and I invite you to submit an abstract for this session (V11). We
look forward to your involvement in this interesting and exciting session
that will hopefully highlight emerging insights into the behavior of
multiple volatile components in metamorphic, magmatic, and mineralizing
systems.
Cheers,
Jim and Craig
