P7 Fluids and melts in the subduction factory: genesis and implications

Subduction zones are active geodynamic environments enabling crustal recycing into the mantle and generating new continental crust. Of particular importance is the slab-mantle wedge system at 40-200 km depth. It is increasingly recognized that subduction materials are modified in this region by metamorphism, metasomatism and mechanical mixing with vast implications for the physico-chemical state of subduction zones. At the plate-interface of subduction zones, fluids, melts and rocks derived from subducting lithosphere interact with depleted mantle in a region of strong chemical and physical gradients. These interactions mediate planetary-scale volatile cycling, produce arc magmas and continental crust and yield modified subducted lithosphere and mantle-wedge peridotites whose chemical signals may persist in the deep Earth for billions of years. We welcome all contributions from geochemistry, petrology, experimental, modeling and field studies that address the major processes operating in the subduction system through geologic time from trenches to depths of ~100 km and beyond.

Deadline for abstract submission is May 9

We look forward to attract your interest and see many of you at the session

Kind regards

Pre-EGU ZIP Meeting in Vienna (17.04.2016)

The ZIP project will hold a meeting prior to the EGU in Vienna on April 17th and interested scientists and students are welcome to participate. This informal mini-workshop will focus on intermediate-depth seismicity but also on what plate interface lithologies might look like, how they react and deform. ZIP fellows and scientists will give insights into recent research projects and subsequent discussions are intended to foster cross-disciplinary interactions between scientists. For a detailed program please see the attached PDF file.
The meeting will take place at the Gasthaus Stafler (5 minutes walk from Meidling Hauptstrasse station (line U4)) and start at 14:30 local time.

ZIP-related Subduction Session at the Goldschmidt Conference 2016

We would like to draw your attention to the theme “Subduction” at the 26th Goldschmidt Conference 2016, which will be held in Yokohama (Japan) from June 26th to July 1st.

One of the sessions will be organized by Thomas Pettke, Sarah Penniston-Dorland, Susanne Skora, Tatsuki Tsujimori and Matthias Konrad-Schmolke and feature work from the ZIP project.
We strongly encourage scientists and students to contribute to this session. Abstract deadline is February 26th.

“07b: Geochemical Recycling in Subduction Zones: What Goes in, What Comes Out, and What Happens in between:

This session aims at attracting geochemists and petrologists contributing to our better understanding of geochemical cycling and mass transfer of elements and isotopes in the subduction factory. Such processes are often at the onset of the global-scale dynamics that formed and have modified Earth’s geochemical reservoirs through time. Recent experimental, (micro)analytical and field-based research advances now allow us to gain unprecedented insights into how geochemical cycling has operated to form and continuously modify Earth’s geochemical reservoirs. We invite contributions that focus on what enters subduction zones, how this material evolves with progressive subduction and what is eventually recycled to the continental crust via arc magmatism or back to the convecting mantle. Studies dealing with element abundance and isotope ratio systematics, aqueous and carbonic fluid chemistries, halogens, fluid – solid phase petrology, thermal conditions, modelling, and field-based or experimental investigations are equally appreciated. We particularly encourage contributions that present provocative ideas and concepts, and unconventional approaches, to foster inspiring scientific exchange on the physical and chemical processes operating down to subarc depth.”
