Dear Colleagues,
We encourage you to contribute papers to special session V16: "Synthesizing Diverse Data Sets into Models of Hawaiian Plume and Island Evolution" at this year's fall AGU meeting in San Francisco. The abstract deadline is 3 September 2009.
Invited speakers:
Cinzia Farnetani (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris)
Francis Albarède (ENS Lyon)
Mike Garcia (University of Hawaii)
Don DePaolo (UC Berkeley)

Session Description:
The structure and composition of the Hawaiian mantle plume has been analyzed from multi-disciplinary perspectives (petrologic, geochemical, geophysical, oceanographic) utilizing a variety of data sets. Recent drilling and submarine sampling programs along the Hawaiian archipelago provide an important amplification and contrasting views to the subaerially collected Hawaiian sample set. Geochemical and petrologic data from these samples can be combined with new geodynamic models that take into account formation, distribution and migration of partial melts. This session provides a forum to synthesize the new, abundant geophysical, geochemical and petrologic data into models of island development, plume structure, melting dynamics and temporal evolution of the Hawaiian plume.
Convenors:
