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)

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.

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!
