Dear colleagues,
In anticipation of another great EGU General Assembly, we would
like to re-draw your attention to the following
co-organized session:
Metamorphic minerals: time capsules from a dynamic lithosphere
[GMPV3.1/GD2.10/TS3.8]
The abstract deadline is 10 January 2019,
13:00 CET, that is 7:00 AM EST.
Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
Happy New Year and best wishes,
Matthijs, Daniela, Tom & Emilie
Metamorphic
minerals: time capsules from a dynamic lithosphere [GMPV3.1/GD2.10/TS3.8]
Metamorphic minerals document the dynamic evolution of our planet,
from the Archean to Present and from the grain- to plate-scale.
Deciphering these records requires an approach that integrates
petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, structures and modelling.
With analytical resolution increasing and the toolbox rapidly
expanding, the ability to study our dynamic lithosphere through
metamorphic geology continues to improve. At the same time, new
methods—and their application to long-standing problems—reveal
issues and pitfalls that inspire future development.
This session aims to highlight recent achievements in integrated
metamorphic geology, and their importance in characterising the
micro- to macro-scale processes that have shaped Earth’s
lithosphere through time. We welcome contributions in petrology,
chronology, trace element and isotope geochemistry, thermodynamic
modelling, and structural geology—all with a specific focus on
metamorphosed-metasomatised rocks. Part of the session will be
devoted to geochronology and novel applications of micro- to
nano-analytical methods.
Invited speakers + tentative titles:
Pierre Lanari (Universität Bern): "An integrated modelling
framework for tracing equilibrium relationships in metamorphic
rocks"
Robert Holder (Johns Hopkins University): "Monazite Eu anomalies
revisited: beyond feldspar"
