AGU session V002: A comprehensive understanding of the melting processes at subduction zones
From: Emily R Johnson <erj@xxxxxxxxxxx>
****************************************************************************************
We wish to draw your attention to our session V002, "A Comprehensive Understanding of the Melting Processes at Subduction Zones" at the Fall Meeting of AGU in San Francisco (December 3-7). The deadline for abstract submission is August 8th.
Description:
Melt generation and volcanism at subduction zones may result from several possible processes: hydration of the mantle wedge by fluid released from the slab, reheating of downgoing sediments/crust, and upwelling induced by subduction. Each process predicts a different pattern of melt generation and can thus be distinguished with high-resolution seismic imaging resolved from ambient noise study (e.g., in the Cascades). A comprehensive study of geophysics, geodynamics, volcanology and geochemistry is needed. This session invites contributions focusing on the understanding of the melting process in the crust and upper mantle at subduction zones, with particular interests in the Cascades.
This session will be convened by Haiying Gao, Peter van Keken, Ikuko Wada, and Emily Johnson, and we look forward to your contributions.
Cheers,
Emily Johnson
