Goldschmidt 2014. Special Session; Olivine: Unlocking the Secrets of Mantle and Magmatic Processes
************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues:
We are convening a session at the Sacramento Goldschmidt
Conference (8-13 June, 2014) on “Olivine: Unlocking the Secrets of Mantle and
Magmatic Processes” Special Sesson 08e.
Olivine is the dominant mineral in Earth’s upper mantle, and is a major phenocryst phase in mafic magmas. Thus, olivine-based studies provide a crucial perspective for understanding mantle and magmatic processes, as well as the role of mantle-derived magmas in crustal evolution. Contributions are encouraged on topics that utilize the olivine perspective to examine mantle and magmatic processes. We especially look forward to and invite contributions involving olivine minor and trace element compositions, diffusion studies, thermobarometry of olivine-bearing systems, and olivine-bearing melt and/or fluid inclusions. Also welcome are contributions that carry implications for olivine-bearing systems (e.g. redox equilibria).
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Andrew Matzen: Oxford University
Conveners:
Michael Garcia, University of Hawaii, mogarcia@xxxxxxxxxx
Keith Putirka, California State University at Fresno, kputirka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Conference abstract deadline is February 1, 2014.
