3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Wendy Bohrson <bohrson@xxxxxxxxx> Colleagues, We are offering a Magma Chamber Simulator workshop at AGU (see below). Please join us for the latest! And please share with others not connected to this listserv. *************** *The Magma Chamber Simulator (MCS): An Open-System Phase Equilibria Modeling Tool for Magma Recharge, Crustal Assimilation and Crystallization (RAFC) (SCIWS17)* *AGU 2019 - San Francisco* *Monday, December 9, 2019, ~8:00 am to 4 PM* *Conveners:* Wendy Bohrson, Colorado School of Mines (bohrson@xxxxxxxxx) Frank Spera, University of California Santa Barbara (spera@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) <spera@xxxxxxxx%29> Melissa Scruggs, University of California Santa Barbara ( melissascruggs@xxxxxxxx) Jenna Adams, University of California Santa Barbara (adams@xxxxxxxx) Guy Brown, Rocking Hoarse Consulting (guyanthonybrown@xxxxxxxxx) *Location:* Grand Hyatt, Room: Conference Theater The past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the use of phase-equilibria modeling to interpret geochemical and petrological data. Phase-equilibria modeling programs have traditionally been in wide use to model melting and crystallization processes. Recent developments in this field have produced the Magma Chamber Simulator (MCS): an energy- and mass-constrained computer code (Bohrson et al. 2014) that simultaneously models recharge/magma mixing (including crystal/mush entrainment), crustal assimilation, wallrock stoping, and crystal fractionation (RASFC) based on the MELTS thermodynamic model applied to composite open magmatic systems. For a crustal magma body and its associated wallrock, MCS tracks the thermal, mass, and compositional (major and trace element, isotope, and phase equilibria) evolution as a magma body and its surrounding wallrock undergo myriad open-system RASFC processes. We welcome petrologists, magma dynamists, volcanologists, students of layered intrusions, and geochemists at all levels: students, early career professionals and advanced career professionals too! With training in this one-day workshop, participants can master the use of the code facilitated by navigating the MCS website. Workshop participants will gain hands-on experience of the MCS code by exploring a number of RASFC case studies, enabling a deeper understanding of the range of petrological/geochemical problems addressable. MCS models are a useful accompaniment to geochemical and petrological studies and can be used as a teaching tool for those who are interested in integration into their petrology/geochemistry/volcanology classes. To preview the Magma Chamber Simulator, the MCS code is available online at : http://mcs.geol.ucsb.edu/. There, you can find more information about MCS and its OS requirements, the MCS team, a link to the MCS paper - Bohrson et al. (2014), and a number of tutorial videos. An updated version has been released since the last MCS workshop, so if you have already taken a MCS workshop, please consider joining us in San Francisco for additional training on the latest release that includes new functionality based on valuable community input within the past two years. *We recognize that participants may have conflicts with some Monday talk and poster sessions. We can accommodate some flux in and out of the workshop. Workshop â??modulesâ?? will be delivered in ~2-hour blocks to conform to oral session schedules.* *To register for the MCS workshop: * https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting/Pages/Workshops Cost is $150 for professionals, $75 for students. We welcome any questions; please email one of us. We hope to see you in San Francisco! 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
