Geochemical and petrological research is driven by ongoing innovation in experimental, analytical, and computational methods. Technological and methodological advancements improve our capacity to characterize phase relationships, trace element partitioning, diffusion processes, volatile behavior, and the physical properties of magmas, ultimately enabling more robust reconstructions of magmatic systems. Additionally, high-level computing has enabled in-depth comparisons and characterization of complex magmatic properties.

This session focuses on recent advances in experimentation, analytical equipment and methodologies, modeling, and computation (e.g. machine-learning, software and code development). We welcome contributions addressing, but not limited to, advancements in the analysis of volatiles and trace elements, isotope systems, mineral–melt equilibria, and diffusion kinetics. Submissions that introduce new methodological approaches, refine existing calibrations, or apply innovative techniques are encouraged. We are particularly interested in those that combine and apply innovations in these areas to better understand magmatic and volcanic processes.
