We invite contributions that apply mineral-hosted melt inclusions (MI), experimental, and thermodynamic modeling approaches to interpreting magmatic volatiles. We will look at the types of problems addressed using MI data, available analytical tools, and protocols for dealing with complications such as post-entrapment crystallization, diffusive re-equilibration, and the presence of vapor bubbles. We encourage submissions that highlight the diversity of problems that can be addressed using MI, as well as technique oriented contributions that highlight advances in analytical methods and protocols for dealing with post-entrapment modifications. Potential topics include: The relative strengths and weaknesses of FTIR, SIMS and LA-ICPMS; best practices for reconstructing total CO2 when vapor bubbles are present; the reliability of H2O concentrations; or, the oxidation state of Fe recorded in MI. From dissolved volatiles to exsolved bubbles and from ascending bubbles to volcanic plumes, the “volatile” phase of magmatic systems experiences drastic transformations on its way to the surface. Understanding these transformations in detail is with each step of the process governed by thermodynamic equations. We invite contributions that seek to integrate stages of magmatic volatile evolution from mantle to surface using experimental, analytical, and analogue techniques. Studies aimed at defining thermodynamic relationships and models using these relationships to understand each step of the degassing process are particularly welcome.
