2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Michael Higgins <Michael_Higgins@xxxxxxx> 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 Special session at GSA-MSA meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, 22-25 September 2019 (https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2019/home). Olivier Namur (KU Leuven, Belgium) is the recipient of the MSA award this year and there will be a traditional special session in his honour at the GSA-MSA meeting. We are soliciting oral presentations: The topic is quite broad within the theme of igneous petrology. The invited speakers are: Jill VanTongeren (Rutgers Univ), Adam Kent (Oregon State Univ) and Rais Latypov (Univ Witwatersrand). The abstract deadline is 25th June, 2019. *Submit Abstract to this Session <https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2019AM/top/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=47424>* T18. The Solidification Path of Magmaâ??Information from Igneous Rocks, Eruptions, and Experimental Petrology: In Honor of the Mineralogical Society of America Awardee for 2019, Olivier Namur. Organisers: Michael D. Higgins, Bernard Charlier. Brief description: Placing constraints on the solidification path of magma, or its liquid line of descent, is a key problem in igneous petrology: Information must be integrated from experimental reconstructions, together with decoding of the plutonic volcanic record. Olivier Namurâ??s MSc and PhD were on the Sept Iles layered mafic intrusion, Canada. He developed quantitative models for the development of this large, but poorly-known intrusion. His work continued with studies of Skaergaard and Bushveld, and culminated in a book on LMIs, which he coedited and contributed to. He has been particularly interested in the role of liquid immiscibility in the development of magmatic rocks and magmatic ore deposits, as well as other solidification processes. He has recently turned to experimental petrology, particularly with application to the Moon and that most volcanic of planets, Mercury. He has just coedited an edition of the magazine â??Elementsâ?? on Mercury. Michael Higgins and Bernard Charlier (Univ. Quebec Chicoutimi, Canada; Univ.
