Dear Colleagues,
We encourage you to submit an abstract to the Union session U32 "Physical and Chemical State of Subducting Slabs and the Slab-Mantle Interface: Forearc, Subarc, and Beyond" at the Fall AGU meeting this December in San Francisco. We're very excited about the interdisciplinary nature of this session.
The Fall AGU meeting takes place from December 5-9 this year in San Francisco. Please see the meeting website http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/ for details about the meeting. Abstracts must be submitted by August 4 at http://agu-fm11.abstractcentral.com/ .
U32 "Physical and Chemical State of Subducting Slabs and the Slab-Mantle Interface: Forearc, Subarc, and Beyond"
We will consider the state of subducting slabs and the "subduction channel" by merging perspectives from structural, geophysical, petrologic, geochemical, experimental, and theoretical studies. Topics could include: linkage between earthquakes and metamorphism and deformation; relationship between devolatilization and silent earthquakes; subduction accretion and erosion and cycling of continental crust; evolving subduction channels and exhumation of HP and UHP metamorphic rocks; element mobility and processes of mass transfer; devolatilization histories and deep-Earth volatile cycling; physical and chemical properties, and transport of subduction-zone fluids; mechanisms by which fluids enter and alter mantle wedges.
Invited speakers:
Pascal Audet, University of California, Berkeley
Ethan Baxter, Boston University
Peter van Keken, University of Michigan
Ikuko Wada, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute
