Description: One of the important tasks of solid-Earth science is to investigate deep crustal and whole lithosphere architecture, pathways and processes that create large-scale mineralization. Lithospheric (magmas and rock) probes and isotopic mapping (such as whole-rock Nd, zircon Hf) provide powerful datasets that can be used to interpret abundant geophysical data for these deep regions and to define their thermochemical structure that can inform energy-and mineral-exploration strategies. This session is focused on: (1) Continental growth and three-dimensional deep Lithospheric architecture from 3D to 4D; (2) Ore systems, their timing and location as related to lithospheric architecture and tectonic environment; and (3) Integration of petrology, geochemical, and geophysical datasets in constructing 3D-4D Lithospheric architecture and a predictive model for metallogenesis through time. Case studies on regional crustal and underlying mantle architecture, deep-lithosphere geochemical fingerprints, and regional metallogenesis are also welcome.
