Fall AGU session on fluids and melts in the Earth's interior - Call for contributions

[Kelbert, Anna]

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to our Fall AGU session on interdisciplinary perspectives in understanding fluids and melts in the Earth's interior. This session is intended to precede a JGR Solid Earth special issue on this topic and it is cross-listed between Seismology, Mineral and Rock Physics, and Geomagnetism, Paleomagnetism and Electromagnetism.

 

The deadline for abstract submission is July 31, 2024, at 11:59 P.M. EDT. First authors may submit two abstracts as long as they are in different sections.

Session Title: V012 - Interdisciplinary perspectives in understanding fluids and melts in Earth's interior

Session Description: Fluids such as CO2, H2O, and N2 and melts (anhydrous, hydrous, carbonated, and metal melts) play a crucial role in generation and transport of magmas within Earth's interior, shaping its structural and chemical evolution over geological timescales. These melts influence global geochemical, geophysical, and geodynamical processes, including Earth's liquid core dynamo, core-mantle differentiation, and distribution of major and trace elements in Earth's interior. Understanding the physicochemical properties of rock-fluid and rock-melt mixtures under extreme conditions is crucial for Earth and Planetary sciences. Recent advancements in experimental, computational, seismological and electromagnetic techniques have significantly enhanced our understanding of their properties in the Earth's interior. This session encourages interdisciplinary approach to further enhance our knowledge of fluids and melts present in Earth's interior. This session may potentially lead to a special collection in Journal of Geophysical Research-Solid Earth, offering an exciting opportunity for contributors to further expand the impact of their research.
