2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Cahoon, Emily B" <emily.cahoon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We are writing to invite you to submit an abstract to GSA Connects 2024 session *T190 â?? Continental Flood Basalts: Classifying, Correlating, and Constraining Eruptive Products through Space and Time*. The session seeks to highlight global studies of continental flood basalt lavas and dikes that elucidate the magmatic evolution of these provinces via geochemistry, stratigraphy, geochronology, physical volcanology, magnetostratigraphy, and computational/mathematical modeling. More information about the session can be found below. GSA Connects 2024 will be held in Anaheim, California from September 22-25, 2024. The abstract submission portal is now open at *https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2024/home <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2024/home__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!dN58MmX9vNY8CgzWU31SaaxIQD8xARquEltpEQdRYmxFqBiAKGtnTUP0zM_tPRAk8XiDa0FW6ybwQWnVWttMQRd3pQ$>* and abstracts are due in 1 week (June 18th) - look forward to seeing you there! Sincerely, Emily Cahoon (IsotopX) & Nikki Moore (Pomona College) Session Rationale: Continental flood basalts (CFB) offer extraordinary insight into magmatic and volcanic processes responsible for some of the volumetrically largest eruptions in Earthâ??s history. Decades of field and analytical work on these provinces have allowed us to constrain the timing, spatial extent, and geochemical evolution of many flood basalt lavas - facilitating comparisons among such provinces which are otherwise discrete in space and time (i.e. different continents and geologic eras). For this session we seek research from a broad range of disciplines that utilize both traditional and creative approaches to interpret the eruptive history, behavior and impacts of CFBs, exploring old and new questions from multiple perspectives. Invited Speakers: Jennifer Kasbohm (Carnegie Science Earth and Planets Laboratory), Tushar Mittal (Pennsylvania State University) Endorsers: GSA Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, and Volcanology Division, Geochemical Society, GSA Geochronology Division 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
