AGU 2015. Magmatic minerals and pre-eruptive processes (V036)
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are delighted to invite abstract submissions to the AGU Fall Meeting 2015 session: V036: The secret life of minerals: Reconstructing pre-eruptive magma storage and ascent dynamics
The final stages of magmatic evolution taking place in shallow crustal reservoirs and conduits play a critical role in the style and frequency of volcanic activity. Understanding the timescales and processes involved in triggering eruptions remains at the forefront of volcanological research. Minerals hold the key to unlocking the history of volcanic systems, because their compositions and textures depend on the pressures, temperatures, and compositions of host liquids. In recent decades, the development and increasing availability of powerful analytical and experimental techniques have allowed researchers to extract information hidden within crystals. Tools for estimating magmatic variables (e.g., storage depths, residence times, ascent rates, timescales of magma recharge) are constantly evolving; however refining their accuracy is critical. We invite proposals that illustrate how the compositions and/or textures of mineral phases are being used to reconstruct pre-eruptive magmatic conditions and the timescales of magmatic processes.
