Session Description:
Earth boasts an enormous oxidation/reduction (redox) gradient from its oxidized surface to its reduced, metallic core. The variation in redox potential between, and laterally within, these layers has profound consequences for geochemistry, geophysics, and geobiology. Redox reactions between minerals, melts, and fluids affect stable assemblages in the crust, mantle, and core. Varying concentrations of redox-sensitive elements can change the rheological properties of minerals by influencing defect concentrations. And chemical exchange between the surface and the interior has led to the evolution of physically distinct reservoirs on geologic timescales. This session hopes to foster conversations among a broad range of disciplines, including both geochemistry and geophysics. We encourage submissions describing experimental, modeling, and natural sample studies in igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, mineral physics, and seismology.
