2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Rose Gallo <rgallo@xxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, Now that the abstract deadline for AGU has been extended to March 7, please consider again submitting an abstract for a poster or oral presentation to our session: 5c - Exploring the physical and chemical evolution of magmas in volcanic plumbing systems. Session description: Understanding the physical and chemical variability of magma bodies in the crust informs tectono-magmatic reconstructions as well as assessment and mitigation of associated volcanic hazards. Magma bodies within a volcanic system can range in depth, size, shape, and volume and have diverse chemical compositions. Characterizing these processes and properties requires analytical and numerical modeling of the physicochemical dynamics between host rock and magma. Some questions relevant to this area of research include: How do magmas change petrologically, rheologically, and physically during storage? Where and how do magmas interact with each other and the surrounding crust? How do magma bodies of different sizes and geometries develop? What influences where magma bodies form? This session focuses on the chemical and physical characteristics of magma bodies through studies that utilize field, experimental, analytical, and/or numerical modeling methodologies. We particularly invite contributions that invoke interdisciplinary approaches and innovative methodologies that illuminate the development and evolution of magmatic systems. We look forward to seeing your research at Goldschmidt this summer.
