AGU 2010 Session: V10 Quantifying Magma Mixing Processes
From: Ben Andrews <andrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear colleagues,
We would like to announce and invite submissions to the Fall AGU session:
V10: Quantifying Magma Mixing Processes
Conveners: Benjamin Andrews (UC Berkeley) and Brandon Browne (Cal. State Fullerton)
Magma mixing events affect magma bodies in myriad ways. Mixing can produce rapid (and spatially variable) changes in composition, phase assemblage, temperature, and volatile content, and trigger eruption. Although many studies have described the magnitudes of thermal and compositional changes during mixing, comparatively little work has quantified the timescales and lengthscales of mixing events. We hope for contributions that that use a combination of modeling and petrological or geochemical observations to discuss: 1) Transient effects of recharge on the host magma; 2) Timescales and length-scales of mixing, hybridization, and homogenization; 4) Trends in mixing processes over the lifetime of volcanoes; 5) Magma mixing events as triggers for eruption.
Abstract submissions are scheduled to open on 21 July and close on 2 September. Please check the AGU website (http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/) for
updates.
Best wishes,
Ben and Brandon
