Session 9: Deep Lithosphere structure and its control on Mineral Systems

Co-Conveners: Lü Qingtian (SinoProbe Lab., China), ARTEMIEVA Irina (SinoProbe Lab.,Denmark), CHRISTOPHER Juhlin (Uppsala University, Sweden), YANG Zhiming (SinoProbe Lab. and Institute of Geology, CAGS, China), DENTITH Michael (University of Western Australia, Australia), LI Yaoguo (University of Colorado, USA)
Description: The geological processes in the lithosphere are closely related to deposition of minerals, many of which occur only in specific lithospheric settings. We invite contributions from geology, geophysics, geodynamics, geochemistry and petrology with focus on the links between the crustal structure, lithosphere evolution, plate tectonics, deep mantle processes, including LIPs, and the origin of various mineral deposits in different geodynamic and tectonic settings. Multidisciplinary contributions with focus on Precambrian cratons, continental collisional belts, modern and paleo-subduction systems, and large igneous provinces are particularly welcome.
