Includes the following sessions:
T5. Drivers of continental magmatism
Convenors: Pamela Kempton (pkempton@ksu.edu), Claudia Adam (cadam@ksu.edu), Matthew Brueseke (brueseke@ksu.edu)
Continental magmatism is compositionally diverse, ranging from kimberlites to rhyolites. The drivers for this magmatism are varied, including passive upwelling and rifting, mantle plumes, edge-driven convection, and lithosphere destabilization. We seek contributions from all disciplines focused on constraining the origin of continental magmatism, particularly students and early career researchers.
T8. The Yellowstone hotspot geologic province: examining the effects of Yellowstone volcanism on the North American West
Convenors: Cole Messa (cmessa@uwyo.edu), Mark Stelten (mstelten@usgs.gov), Kenneth Sims (ksims7@uwyo.edu)
Mafic and silicic volcanism related to the Yellowstone–Snake River Plain hotspot have had profound effects on much of western North America as it migrated from Nevada/Oregon to its present location at the Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic field. This session seeks contributions that examine the origin of volcanism related to hotspot magmatism and/or the effects of volcanism on the surrounding landscape.
