Dear Colleagues,
We have organized a
last-minute session for the 2012 Goldschmidt Conference in Montreal
called "New Views of Mantle Heterogeneity from Oceanic Basalts". The
session has now been posted to the conference website, and abstracts are
being accepted. We hope to see you in Montreal!
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year,
Aaron Pietruszka and Dominique Weis

The chemical and isotopic diversity of young basalts from oceanic islands, seamounts and plateaus record evidence of the compositional heterogeneity of the Earth’s mantle. The goal of this session is to highlight recent studies on the nature and origin of mantle heterogeneity at all length scales and over a range of depths. We welcome contributions that use elemental and/or isotopic measurements of oceanic basalts (and their minerals and melt inclusions) and/or geochemical modeling to see through the filter of the melting process to the underlying compositional heterogeneity of the mantle. Integrated contributions, with geophysical and/or geodynamical perspectives, are also encouraged.
