T17. Large silicic systems: uncovering their histories using whole-rock, mineral-scale, and textural analysis
Convenors: Heather Winslow (hwinslow@nevada.unr.edu), Ellyn Huggins (eghuggins@nevada.unr.edu) and Brad Pitcher (bradley.w.pitcher@vanderbilt.edu)
The Cordillera presents a unique opportunity to investigate the evolution of large silicic systems in the volcanic and plutonic record from magma assembly and storage, to ascent through the crust and surficial expressions. This can be studied through a variety of methods, including field observations, geochemistry, petrology, and crystal-scale analyses.
