The metamorphic kitchen sink
The metamorphic kitchen sink
Session ID#: 123796
Session Description:
The tools of modern metamorphic petrology and geochemistry have broadened considerably with developments in analytical geochemistry and computing. It is now quite common to apply multiple types of tools to a single rock in order to unravel its metamorphic history. We invite you to share how you have used the “metamorphic kitchen sink” to address the fundamental processes that drive metamorphism. We are particularly interested in submissions that apply one or more of the following tools: field observations; petrography; experimental petrology; rheology/EBSD; geochronology; major, trace element, and isotope geochemistry; numerical modeling; and others. We hope to bring the metamorphic community together to really tie microns to mountains and space to time. We also welcome submissions for discussion topics and potential panel discussions, particularly those that might lead to the submission of proposals for broader-scale community collaboration (e.g., RCNs, NRTs) to tackle the next generation of critical questions in metamorphism.
