Dear All:
(with apologies for multiple postings)
We would like to bring to your attention and encourage contributions to the following special session in the upcoming Godschmidt conference at Montreal, Canada. The session description is given below -
Session 3c: Deep cycles of volatiles in terrestrial planets through time
(co-hosted by Themes 3 and 6)
Keynote speaker: Bernard Marty (CNRS, Nancy, France)
Volatiles play a significant role in making the terrestrial planets in our solar system unique by influencing the physics and chemistry of planetary interior. In this session we would like to address the origin, evolution, and distribution of hydrogen, carbon, sulfur, and halogen bearing species in the Earth and other terrestrial planets. We hope to discuss diverse topics including, but are not limited to (1) the in- and out-gassing of volatiles from the magma oceans and the evolution of early planetary atmosphere; (2) the fate and influence of volatiles during accretion, solidification, and differentiation of the terrestrial planets; (3) the ancient and present day volatile cycles between exosphere and the planetary interiors; (4) ancient versus modern processes in shaping the volatile inventory of the Earth; (5) the distribution and modes of storage of volatiles in the Earth’s interior and their influence on physical properties and planetary dynamics. We encourage contributions ranging from natural observations, experimental determinations, theoretical calculations and modeling, from any discipline, that constrain volatile cycles of terrestrial planets from deep time to present.
Please note, that the abstract deadline is fast approaching (February 1st, 2012 [23:59 EST]):
