Dear Colleagues,
(with apologies for cross-postings)
We cordially invite you to contribute to session V24: "Volatiles in the Earth - From Past to Present" at the Fall AGU meeting, San Francisco, 14-18 December 2009.
Sponsor: Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology
CoSponsor: Mineral and Rock Physics, Planetary Sciences, Study of Earth's Deep Interior, Tectonophysics
CoSponsor: Mineral and Rock Physics, Planetary Sciences, Study of Earth's Deep Interior, Tectonophysics
Description:
Volatiles have influenced the physical and chemical processes of the Earth's interior throughout the planet's evolution. The theme of this session is the origin, evolution, and distribution of volatiles such as water, carbon, sulfur, halogens, and noble gases in the Earth. Topics of interest encompass, but are not limited to (1) the Earth's early atmosphere, as well as in- and out-gassing of the young Earth's magma ocean; (2) the fate of volatiles during differentiation and solidification of the Earth; (3) the evolution of volatiles within the Earth from past to present; and (4) the budgets and distribution of volatiles in the Earth's interior at present and their influence on the dynamics of the Earth's interior. We invite contributions from all the disciplines of the deep Earth community that aim at some aspects of deep Earth volatiles, including related near surface processes, from the time of planetary accretion to present.
