Tim Lowenstein

Binghamton University - Geological Sciences and Environmental Studies

Title: Seafloor hydrothermal systems control seawater chemistry: evidence from fluid inclusions in halite

Scientific field of interest

  • chemically deposited sediments to understand Earth’s ancient hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere and is regarded as one of the world’s authorities on salt deposits
  • changes in the chemistry of the ancient oceans
  • ancient climates and global atmospheric changes from ancient lake deposits
  • long-term survival of microorganisms and DNA in salt deposits

 

Maxim Portnyagin

Title: Recent advances in experimental studies with melt inclusions at controlled P-T-fO2-aH2O conditions

Scientific field of interest

  • origin of mantle-derived magmas, their derivatives and recycling of different chemical elements in subduction-related and intraplate oceanic tectonic settings
  • the role and amount of volatiles (H2O, CO2, S, halogens) involved in magma genesis in subduction zones
  • to understand the ability of magmatic inclusions to preserve volatiles from leakage. Recently he performed many experiments with natural melt inclusions at high P-T conditions and in presence of volatiles. Some results of these experiments challenge our conventional view on melt inclusions, and they will be presented at ECROFI

Title: UHP fluid inclusions: indicators of the petrological and geochemical role of the fluids released at sub-arc depths

Scientific field of interest

  • fluid phases (and recycling of volatiles) involved in petrological and geochemical processes within oceanic and continental lithosphere from different geodynamic settings
  • metasomatic processes in crust and lithospheric mantle
  • P-T-t evolution of the crust during subduction and rifting, with geodynamic interpretations
  • micro-Raman and fluid inclusion applications in sedimentary processes
  • minero-petrographic and micro-Raman applications in Cultural Heritage

 

Matthew Steele-MacInnis

University of Alberta - Faculty of Science - Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

Title: Solubilities of minerals in hydrothermal saline fluids

Scientific field of interest

  • Thermodynamic modeling of geologic fluids and hydrothermal systems, including sediment hosted base metal, orogenic gold, and magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits

 

Julien Mercadier

French National Centre for Scientific Research | CNRS - Laboratoire Georessources

Title: LA-ICP-MS for fluid inclusion analysis: current capabilities and application cases

Scientific field of interest

  • Ore deposits and associated fluids
  • Fluid/rock interaction and elemental budget
  • Tracing chemical composition of paleo-fluids through LA-ICP-MS application
  • LA-ICP-MS development for the analysis of paleofluids and mineral chemistry
