Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the AGU Fall Meeting (San Francisco, 13-17 Dec. 2010) and invite your contribution.
Session: V25: Generation and Evolution of Alkaline to Sub-alkaline Magmas
This session is designed to bring together multiple disciplines to understand the generation and evolution of alkaline to sub-alkaline magmas observed in rift volcanic systems and intraplate settings. This session will include discussion on the mechanism of magma generation (asthenospheric vs. lithospheric), on source characteristics (implication of recycled material, metasomatism, crustal anatexis), and on processes related to the chemical evolution of these magmas from mantle depths to shallow level (fractional crystallization, assimilation, magma mixing). We encourage contributions that explore new petrogenetic scenarios using field observation, petrological constraints as well as geophysical observations or numerical modeling.
Conveners: Romain Meyer (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA), Sebastien Pilet (University of Lausanne, Switzerland), Etienne Medard (Universite Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France) and Ralf Gertisser (Keele University, UK).
Abstract submission is open until 2 September 2010. Please check the AGU website (http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/) for further details.
