Includes the following sessions:
GD7.1 Lithospheric structure and mineral deposits: role of collision, subduction, extension, LIPs, and impacts
Convenors: Irina Artemieva (iartemieva@gmail.com), Shuwen Dong (swdong8888@126.com), Richard Ernst (richard.ernst@ernstgeosciences.com), Graham Begg (graham.begg@uwa.edu.au)
Lithosphere evolution, reflected in the lithosphere structure, controls the deposition of mineral resources, many of which occur in specific geodynamic settings. We invite contributions from various geophysical, geodynamic, geological, and geochemical studies, as well as from numerical modeling, which address the questions how various plate tectonics and mantle dynamics processes
- modify the lithosphere structure,
- control ore deposits,
- and how these processes changed during the Earth's evolution.
We particularly invite contributions with focus on unique ore deposits and geodynamic processes that created them.
