T51. Opening Pandora's box: inclusions in minerals

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Sheltered within their host phases, inclusions preserve a wealth of geological information that would otherwise be lost due to the intricate history of rocks. Systems comprising hosts and inclusions document the processes and conditions present at the time of entrapment. Factors such as pressure, temperature, time, metasomatism, magma genesis, mineral solubility, mineral growth, redox processes, and mass and heat transfer can all be explored by examining inclusions within minerals. Recent advancements in technology and innovative methodological approaches have enhanced our ability to extract such information through careful microstructural, mineralogical, petrologic, and geochemical studies. Nevertheless, accurate interpretations of these records can only be achieved through synergies between fieldwork, the observation of natural samples, experiments, and computational modelling.
We invite contributions on any aspect of the expansive and varied field of inclusion studies in natural rocks from any geoscience discipline, spanning from sedimentary to metamorphic, from the depths of the mantle to volcanic rocks at the Earth's surface, including ore deposits. Specifically, we encourage discussions on data from solid, fluid, and melt inclusion studies, elastic geobarometry, petrological studies on inclusions, inclusion genesis, novel high-resolution techniques, and modelling of physical and chemical processes, as well as mineral behaviour in crucial geodynamic environments.
 
CONVENERS: Alessia Borghini (AGH University of Kraków - Poland), Stefano Ghignone (Università di Torino), Mattia Gilio (University of Hamburg - Germany), Emanuele Scaramuzzo (Università dell'Insubria), Matteo Alvaro (Università di Pavia).
