Apologies for cross-postings.
We would like to draw your attention, and encourage you to submit an
abstract, to the following session at this year's Fall AGU:
Session V32: Texture Controlled Geochronology: Linking Petrography,
Mineral Zoning and Dating
Session Description: Providing a direct link between geochronological
and petrological data by in-situ analysis is the key for robust
constraints on the rates on local to crustal scale geologic processes
including: deformation, metamorphism, mineral alteration, mountain
building and mountain collapse. This session invites contributions
using combinations of textural, geochemical and geochronological data
to provide P-T-t-d histories by in-situ methods. We aim to address
process questions relating to the utility of macro- or microscale
mineral textures as reliable relative timemarkers and to the rates of
regional scale crustal processes. Studies using innovative imaging
techniques to characterize and interpret textures are welcome.
Invited Speakers: Mike Cosca (USGS Denver) and Andrew Kylander-Clark
(UC Santa Barbara)
Conveners: Andreas Moeller (University of Kansas; [log in to unmask]) and
Nigel Kelly (Colorado School of Mines; [log in to unmask])
