From: Marie Edmonds <me201@xxxxxxxxx>EMC 2016. Session P4 - The cycling of carbon from the surface to subduction, and vice-versa
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear All,
we would like to draw your attention to the session P4, at the
European Mineralogical Conference 2016 to be held at Rimini, Italy
The cycling of carbon from the surface to subduction, and
vice-versa
Keynote Speaker: Rajdeep Dasgupta, Rice University
The abstract and early registration deadline is 9 May 2016.
Session description:
Convergent margins are characterized by large-scale mass
transfer processes, which control the cycling of carbon on a
global scale. Complexation in fluids and mineral transformations
involving carbonates, graphitic carbon, diamond govern carbon
mobility in the fore- and sub-arc region of slab-mantle interface.
Dissolution, reduction, melting, and reactive percolation account
for the variety of metasomatized rocks forming in the slab and in
the mantle wedge, source for the magmatism. The diversity of
orogenic magmas contributes to continental roots and, eventually,
through redox processes, to the mobilization and re-concentration
of carbon. CO2 outgassing at convergent margins is significant and
take place via volcanism and diffuse degassing, controlling the
triggering and style of volcanic eruptions.
We look forward to seeing you in Rimini
