Understanding the role of fluids in HT and LT geological processes is important to discriminate the chemical and isotopic changes possibly occurring in minerls and rocks during fluid/rock interaction.
Stable isotope geochemistry is a powerful tool to decipher fluid origins, although with some limitations. Fluid compositions are measured directly in fluid inclusions or estimated using formation temperature data and mineral/water fractionations, all of them having certain uncertainties. Presentations on technical achievements providing new means of fluid composition determinations, new data on isotope fractionations, and interesting applications are highly invited in this session.
