Dear Colleagues:
This message is to call your attention and invite you to contribute abstracts to session "V05: Magmatism and the Evolution of Andean Type Crust and Lithosphere" that will be held during the AGU Joint Assembly "Meeting of the Americas" in Foz do Iguaçu (Iguassu Falls), Brazil, from August 8th to 13th 2010. The session is co-sponsored by the "Tectonophysics" section of AGU.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 31st.
More information in <http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja10/>http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja10/
A brief outline of the session is described below.
V05: Magmatism and the Evolution of Andean Type Crust and Lithosphere
Conveners: Suzanne M. Kay and Pablo J. Caffe
Mafic to silicic Andean magmas record the thermal, mechanical and compositional state of the subducting slab, mantle wedge and crust as the modern Andes have uplifted and the subducting slab below has shallowed and steepened. This session seeks contributions from petrologic and geochemical studies that use major, trace element and isotopic data from magmas and minerals as guides to arc magma production, the role of recycled lithosphere incorporated in the mantle wedge through lithospheric foundering and forearc subduction erosion, and the relative contributions of mantle and in situ crustal sources in Andean type magmas.
We look forward to seeing you in Brazil.
Suzanne Kay
Pablo J Caffe
