1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Daniel Harlov <dharlov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello Folks, Justin Filberto (jfiliberto@xxxxxxxxxxxx) and I have organized and are currently co-editing a thematic issue in American Mineralogist in memory of Jim Webster for 2020 - 2021. Experimental and Petrologic Investigation of Halogens, Sulfur, and Other Volatile Species in Igneous Systems: In Honor of Jim Webster Jim Webster devoted his professional career, both in the lab and in the field, to a broad study of halogens, sulfur, and other volatile species in igneous environments, which included plutonic, subvolcanic, and volcanic processes. As an experimental petrologist Jim contributed to our understanding of volatile processes in igneous melts and what minerals from these melts, such as apatite and micas, can tell us about these processes. In the field Jim focused on understanding the role of volatiles in volcanic systems and in plutonic systems, such as granites, in part through the study of apatite mineral chemistry and melt inclusions and how this related to the genesis and evolution of the original magmatic systems. In the case of volcanic systems this also included studies of outgassing during eruptions and subsurface volcanic processes. For this special volume of American Mineralogist in honor of Jim, we invite all researchers interested in the role of volatiles in igneous process - geochemical, mineralogical, and petrological to contribute their studies. This includes both field studies and lab based studies including experimental petrology. Papers on apatite- or mica-based research of any sort are especially welcome. Submission dates are any time from now up through 2021 and may be extended further depending on the interest expressed for this thematic issue. When submitting your article to American Mineralogist follow the regular procedure and then choose from the Special Section in the menu - â?? Experimental and Petrologic Investigation of Halogens, Sulfur, and Other Volatile Species in Igneous Systems in Honor of Jim Webster â??. Your article will then become part of the thematic collection. Other than that - submission procedure, peer review, etc. is the same as for any other paper submitted to American Mineralogist. More information can be found here: http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/AmMin/special-collections.html . Submissions will be accepted up through the end of 2021, which may be extended depending on how many submissions we get. If you should have any questions regarding the suitability of your contribution for the thematic issue - please feel free to contact either Justin or myself. sincerely yours, Daniel Harlov and Justin Filberto 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
