AGU 2016. Session - Cumulates from top to bottom: new perspectives and implications for volcanic plumbing systems and crust-forming processes

Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your abstracts to our AGU 2016 Fall Meeting session entitled
V007: Cumulates from top to bottom: new perspectives and implications for volcanic plumbing systems and crust-forming processes
Session ID: 12544
Session Description:
Fragmented, cumulative plutonic rocks are variably present in ejecta of
many volcanic systems in different tectonic settings. These rocks
provide a window into sub-volcano magmatic plumbing systems. They are
products of magmatic differentiation in the crust
and crust-mantle transition zone, and record varying extents of
interaction between melts and crystals. Formation of mafic cumulates is
key to the evolution of the Earth’s crust. Given the importance of these
processes, there are numerous current studies focused
on cumulative plutonic rocks and intrusive complexes in volcanic arcs,
mid-ocean ridges and intra-plate settings. This session will bring
together multidisciplinary studies that focus on cumulate formation and
the larger-scale role cumulates play in the generation
and evolution of magmas and the crust. Contributions are sought from
all relevant studies involving cumulates including, but not limited to,
field investigations, textural studies, geochemistry, mineralogy,
experiments, geophysics, numerical and thermodynamic
modelling.
The abstract submissions site is now open. Please submit your abstracts by the 3rd August.
Hope to see you there!
