Mineralogical Signals as Keys to Understanding Petrological Processes - 2011

Explore cutting-edge research on mineralogical signals and their role in understanding petrological processes in this 1 hour 36 minute conference session from the 2011 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into topics such as olivine's significance in deciphering Kilauea's magmatic history, diffusive re-equilibration of volatiles in melt inclusions, trace element composition of olivine in sulfide deposits, and the use of minerals as mantle fingerprints. Examine studies on olivines from kimberlites and diamonds, the discovery of diamonds in peridotite massifs along the Yarlung-Zangbo Suture, the origin of zircon in ophiolitic mantle rocks, and a re-evaluation of zircon saturation. Gain insights from leading researchers in the field as they present their findings on these crucial mineralogical signals and their implications for understanding complex petrological processes.
