The evolution and distribution of volatiles in planetary interiors
The evolution and distribution of volatiles in planetary interiors
Session ID#: 121273
Session Description:
Large scale planetary processes such as plate tectonics, fluid mobility, outgassing/in-gassing, planetary differentiation, and late-accretion play a major role in the evolution of planetary interiors. On Earth and other silicate bodies, the cycling of volatiles through atmospheric, surface, and mantle reservoirs establishes the overall availability of life-sustaining elements [e.g. C, H, O & S]. Through characterization of mantle reservoirs using geochemical, mineralogical, geodynamic, and seismic applications, it is possible to improve our understanding of volatile cycling through planetary interiors. This session aims to explore processes governing the evolution and distribution of volatiles in planetary interiors, and their role in the development of large-scale, physically and chemically distinct silicate reservoirs. We encourage contributions from a broad range of fields, including geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, geodynamics, and seismology, working on inner solar system planets.
