Fall AGU Session annoucement - V46: The Mush Model: Paradigm or Straitjacket?
From: Colin Wilson <olin.wilson@xxxxxxxxx>
***************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues
We would like to draw your attention to and invite abstracts for VGP Session V46: The Mush Model: Paradigm or Straitjacket? The background information for this session is:
The role of the mush model in generation of evolved magmas, via processes dominated by fractional crystallization, is now central in studies of magmatic systems worldwide. The conundrum of separating crystals from viscous magmas during fractionation was reversed to have the melt fraction separating from the crystals. The timings, mechanisms and extents of crystal-melt separation, as well as the fate of melt-dominant and crystal-dominant material, tied to the volcanic-plutonic connection, are subjects of ongoing debate. Also debated is whether the mush model is appropriate in all settings. This session will bring research from modelling through to field studies to bear on the usefulness and limitations of the mush model in evolved magmatic systems.
Please join us in San Francisco from 3-7 December. The abstract submission deadline is 8 August 2012. http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/
Colin Wilson, Olivier Bachmann and Anita Grunder
