V026 session description
Multiple stages of melting, reactive infiltration, mixing, and freezing of melts are required to explain geochemistry of mid-ocean ridge, ocean island, and arc basalts. Heterogeneities in volatiles and mineralogy play a key role in these processes, because they generate the initial melts and hybrid lithologies by subsequent melt-rock reaction. Open questions are the nature and proportion of heterogeneities and reactive fronts and the resulting coupled major, trace, and isotope signatures in erupted basalts. This session presents research on melting, migration, melt-rock reactions, and the geochemical signatures of reactive melt transport in the mantle and crust. We welcome contributions from field studies, experiments, and theory.
