Colleagues
The deadline for abstract submission for the 2nd European
Mineralogical Conference (http://emc2016.socminpet.it/index.php) has
been extended until Friday, 13 May 2016, 12 pm Central European
Summer Time.
We invite you to contribute to our session (P11) entitled “Crustal
melting: from UHP to UHT and from inclusions to intrusions”(see
below). The keynote speaker will be Roberto Weinberg, who will
discuss “The origin of Himalayan leucogranites and how they
interacted with the orogen”
Best regards,
Mike
for Omar Bartoli, Michael Brown and Richard White (conveners)
P11 Crustal melting: from UHP to UHT and from inclusions to
intrusions
Information about the process of melting in the deep crust of
orogens and the resulting melt transfer to shallow levels is encoded
in the microstructures, mineral assemblages and mineral
compositions, multiphase solid (former melt) inclusions and
whole-rock compositions of metamorphic and igneous rocks. Whether
crustal melting in orogens is a closed-system process with respect
to mass input from the mantle is an important question that may be
addressed by inversion of geochemical data from granites. This
session will advance our understanding of crustal melting and the
formation of granite over the full range of metamorphic
environments, from low to high dT/dP conditions, from subduction to
collision, and from orogenic plateaux to accretionary orogens. We
encourage submissions on any aspect of crustal melting from all
tectonic environments and at all scales.
