Dear colleagues,

      
      with the abstract submission deadline approaching, we would

      like to draw your attention once more to the following session at
      the EGU General Assembly (Vienna, Austria, 22-27 April 2012) and
      invite your contribution.
     
      Symposium: GMPV – Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology &
      Volcanology
      
      Session: GMPV5.1: Magma generation and differentiation: Field,
      analytical, experimental and numerical investigation of magmatic
      and volcanic systems
      
      This session invites contributions targeting the generation and
      differentiation of magmas in the mantle and crust from field
      studies, petrology, geochemistry (major and trace elements and
      isotopes), experimental petrology and thermodynamic and
      geochemical modeling. Magma chemistry sampled in plutonic and
      volcanic rocks reflect combinations of processes operating in
      their sources (e.g. metasomatism by fluids and melts,
      asthenospheric-, lithospheric- and 'exotic' mantle components such
      as pyroxenites as well as crustal melting and anatexis) and during
      differentiation from mantle depths to shallow level magma
      reservoirs and volcanic extrusions/explosions (e.g. fractional
      crystallization, assimilation, mixing/mingling, replenishment of
      magma reservoirs and chambers). The fundamental question to be
      addressed by this session is how igneous systems operate in
      different tectonic settings and what are the principal controls on
      primary, parental and derivative magma compositions.
      
      Conveners: Valentin R. Troll
      (Uppsala University, Sweden), Lilli Freda (INGV Rome, Italy) and
      Ralf Gertisser (Keele University, UK)
      
      Invited speakers: Christian Tegner (Aarhus University, Denmark),
      Andreas Kluegel (University of Bremen, Germany)
    
    
      Abstract deadline is 17 January 2012.
