Basaltic Magmatism in the Solar System: From Mantle to Magma in Space and Time III Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 5853

Session Description:
Basaltic, picritic, and komatiitic lavas, the related plutonic rocks, and the associated mantle xenoliths provide the most direct information on the composition of planetary mantles. Mantle-derived rocks of various ages also help us constrain the secular evolution of their sources by providing information on how the mantle evolved through time. This session will focus on the geochemical, isotopic, experimental, and mineralogical studies of mafic and ultramafic rocks on Earth and on extraterrestrial bodies such as Mercury, Mars, the Moon, and Vesta. The proposed session will 1) explore the evolution of terrestrial basaltic volcanism and the Earth's upper mantle over the history of the Earth and 2) examine the terrestrial record in the broader setting of the inner solar system. We aim to bring together scientists whose research spans the geological time, and whose contributions will provide new insights into planetary evolution and differentiation processes.
