[margins-list] And another special session at 2009 Goldschmidt Conference

[margins-list at nsf-margins.org]

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider contributing to a special session organized by Monica  
Handler and myself on non-traditional tracers of arc processes at the  
upcoming Goldschmidt meeting in Davos (June 21-26 2009). Abstracts  
are due by 22 Feb (see www.goldschmidt2009.org/index). Further  
details are below.


Novel tracers of slab components and new insights into the evolution  
of arc magmas (session 06c)

Description
Our understanding of crustal and fluid recycling and magmatic  
evolution at subduction zones is being revolutionised through the  
application of increasingly diverse non-traditional geochemical  
tracers, ranging for example, from light elements (e.g. Li, Be, B, N)  
to chalcophile elements (e.g. Re, PGE), halogen and transition metal  
stable isotopes to U-series isotopes. This session seeks  
contributions that utilise non-traditional and novel geochemical  
tracers to investigate subduction zone processes, including  
timescales and mechanisms, from deep recycling through to high-level  
magmatic processes. Contributions that integrate several approaches  
or highlight novel applications of abundance or isotopic systems are  
particularly encouraged.

Invited Speakers
Tim Elliot (Keynote; Bristol), Alison Shaw (WHOI), Jaime Barnes  
(Univ. New Mexico)

Convenors
Monica Handler (Victoria University of Wellington)
Adam Kent (Oregon State University)
