2016 JAMS Annual Meeting Sessions Outline
Special Session
S1: Igneous processes and fluids
Conveners

K. Ueki: kenta_ueki[a]jamstec.go.jp
M. Ushioda: m.ushioda[a]aist.go.jp

OutlineFluids in the crust and mantle transfer heat and mass efficiently and thereby cause
various types of igneous processes, including generation and differentiation ofmagmas, vapour transport and volcanic eruptions. In this session, we such igneousprocesses as well as physicochemical properties of fluids will be discussed.
We welcome contributions based on field observation, analyses of natural samples,high P/T experiments and theoretical modelling.

T. Kawakami:t-kawakami[a]kueps.kyoto-u.ac.jp

Topic session “Water – Rock Interaction” involves multidisciplinary research forroles of “fluids” to the Earth Processes, related to metamorphic rocks, volcanicrocks, hydrothermal alteration, ore deposit, hydrothermal experiments, and transportphenomena of fluids. Research methods are also multidisciplinal research methods,
such as field survey, experiment, numerical calculation and modeling, will beexpected. This topic session also includes geological application such as
mineralogical study of radioactive decontamination, nuclear waste geologicaldisposal and carbon dioxide capture and storage.

This session covers structural description of natural and synthetic minerals, theirgrowth and dissolution mechanism together with interesting physic-chemical
properties. Presentations dealing with advanced analytical techniques forcharacterizing a variety of mineral structures and their fundamental properties arewelcome.

R3:High-pressure science and deep
It is significantly important to understand the wide range of mineral sciences in the
Earth’s material Earth’s interior, because dynamics in the Earth’s interior must be closely related tonot only the evolution of the Earth but also the environment near the Earth’ surface.
Conveners
The aim of this session will be to discuss the full range of physical and chemical

S. Utsunomiya:utsunomiya.satoshi.998[a]m.kyushu-u.ac.jp
T. Kogure:kogure[a]eps.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp

This session aims to present the latest advances in the mineralogical sciences of theEarth surface. The session will cover physical and chemical characteristics of nanoscale minerals, biomineralization, processes at water-mineral interface, inorganicorganic interactions, and others.

T. Ohba:t-ohba[a]gipc.akita-u.ac.jp

We welcome contributions on mineralogical sciences of extraterrestrial materials
such as presolar grains, cosmic dust, meteorites, lunar samples, and return samples.

This session focuses on studies of plutonic and volcanic rocks. We expect lively
discussions on magma genesis, magma emplacement and their relationship withtectonics, from the viewpoint of various disciplines such as petrology, mineralogy,geochemistry, dating, and geology. This session also welcomes studies on
subduction factory that produces continental crust.

R7:Petrology, Mineralogy and Economic
geology This session accepts a wide range of petrological, mineralogical, economic
geological, and geochemical studies that deal with earth and planetary materials. We
expect various discussions about constituent materials of the earth.
