V14C:
The Earth's Geodynamic Carbon Cycle: Subduction, Storage, Migration, and Outgassing I


Session ID#: 8341

Session Description:
The carbon cycle is of fundamental importance to Earth processes over geologic time. However, the physics of deep carbonaceous reservoirs and the fluxe(s) between Earth’s interior (mantle) and exterior (crust, hydrosphere & atmosphere) remain enigmatic.

This session aims to promote the latest multidisciplinary research involving the behaviour of carbon within the subducted slab, crust, and mantle. We welcome contributions related to: (1) solubility and storage of carbon within Earth’s interior; (2) origin and migration of C-rich fluids and melts and their impact on redox processes, diamond formation, mantle metasomatism and associated (alkaline) magmatism; (3) the petrology of carbonaceous phases at extreme P-T conditions; (4) stable isotope fractionation; and (5) carbon release to the exosphere through volcanic, tectonic and other styles of degassing.

We invite contributions from volcanology, natural/experimental geochemistry/petrology, and mineral physics, as well as theoretical and computational studies. Submissions by early career scientists and graduate students are particularly encouraged.
