Dear All:
    
    (with apologies for multiple postings)
    
    We would like to bring to your attention and encourage contributions
    to the following special session in the upcoming Godschmidt
    conference at Montreal, Canada. The session description is given
    below -
    
    Session 3c: Deep cycles of volatiles in terrestrial planets through
    time
    (co-hosted by Themes 3 and 6)
    Keynote speaker: Bernard Marty (CNRS, Nancy, France)
    
    Volatiles play a significant role in making the terrestrial planets
    in our solar system unique by influencing the physics and chemistry
    of planetary interior. In this session we would like to address the
    origin, evolution, and distribution of hydrogen, carbon, sulfur, and
    halogen bearing species in the Earth and other terrestrial planets.
    We hope to discuss diverse topics including, but are not limited to
    (1) the in- and out-gassing of volatiles from the magma oceans and
    the evolution of early planetary atmosphere; (2) the fate and
    influence of volatiles during accretion, solidification, and
    differentiation of the terrestrial planets; (3) the ancient and
    present day volatile cycles between exosphere and the planetary
    interiors; (4) ancient versus modern processes in shaping the
    volatile inventory of the Earth; (5) the distribution and modes of
    storage of volatiles in the Earth’s interior and their influence on
    physical properties and planetary dynamics. We encourage
    contributions ranging from natural observations, experimental
    determinations, theoretical calculations and modeling, from any
    discipline, that constrain volatile cycles of terrestrial planets
    from deep time to present.
    
    Please note, that the abstract deadline is fast approaching
    (February 1st, 2012 [23:59 EST]):

    company!
