Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a session we are organizing "Evolution and differentiation of the continental crust: A celebration of the contributions by Michael Brown" at the 2012 Goldschmidt meeting, June 24-29 in Montreal. Please see (http://www.vmgoldschmidt.org/2012/index.htm) for further conference details. The abstract deadline (February 1) is coming up very soon!
5b. Evolution and differentiation of the continental crust: A celebration of the contributions by Michael Brown
Co-convenors:
Julia Baldwin (University of Montana) - julie.baldwin[at]umontana.edu<http://umontana.edu/>
Christine Siddoway (Colorado College) - csiddoway[at]coloradocollege.edu<http://coloradocollege.edu/>
Richard White (Universität Mainz, Germany) - rwhite[at]uni-mainz.de<http://uni-mainz.de/>
This session is a tribute to Mike Brown, University of Maryland, for his contributions to our understanding of crustal melting, melt extraction and transport through the crust, the effect of melt generation on crustal rheology and changes in style of metamorphism through Earth history. We invite contributions related to the broad topic of the evolution and differentiation of the continental crust. We particularly invite contributions from field and experimental petrology, structural geology, and isotope geochemistry that address the fundamental processes of crustal anatexis, melt segregation, intracrustal differentiation during orogenesis, P-T-t-d histories of HP/HT metamorphic belts and associated melting processes, and the causes of, sources of heat, and partial melting processes under extreme metamorphic conditions.
Keynote speaker:
Roger Powell (University of Melbourne)
Invited speakers:
Simon Wilde (Curtain University); Chris Clark (Curtain University)
Looking forward to Montreal in June!
Julie Baldwin, Dick White, and Christine Siddoway
