AGU 2015. The Earth's geodynamic carbon cycle: subduction, storage, migration and outgassing
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to the upcoming AGU session entitled: The Earth’s geodynamic carbon cycle: subduction, storage, migration and outgassing. We invite anyone conducting relevant research to please consider submitting an abstract to our session. Details regarding this session can be found below. The AGU abstract submission deadline is August 5. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Session Conveners:
Sami Mikhail, The University of St. Andrews
Anja Rosenthal, University of Bayreuth
Vincenzo Stagno, Geodynamics Research Center

V032: The Earth’s geodynamic carbon cycle: subduction, storage, migration, and outgassing
Session Description:
The carbon cycle is of fundamental importance to Earth processes over geologic time. However, the physics of deep carbonaceous reservoirs and the fluxe(s) between Earth’s interior (mantle) and exterior (crust, hydrosphere & atmosphere) remain enigmatic. This session aims to promote the latest multidisciplinary research involving the behavior of carbon within the subducted slab, crust, and mantle. We welcome contributions related to: (1) solubility and storage of carbon within Earth’s interior; (2) origin and migration of C-rich fluids and melts and their impact on redox processes, diamond formation, mantle metasomatism and associated (alkaline) magmatism; (3) the petrology of carbonaceous phases at extreme P-T conditions; (4) stable isotope fractionation; and (5) carbon release to the exosphere through volcanic, tectonic and other styles of degassing. We invite contributions from volcanology, natural/experimental geochemistry/petrology, and mineral physics, as well as theoretical and computational studies. Submissions by early career scientists and graduate students are particularly encouraged.
Invited Speakers:
Franco Tassi, University of Florence, Italy
