Melts and the emplacement of magmatic intrusions into the middle-upper crust is intimately related to tectonic deformation at all scales. The relationship between tectonic deformation and various magmatic processes (melting reactions; evolution of magma plumbing system and magma transport; and post-emplacement pluton cooling) dramatically influences the behaviour and migration of hydrothermal fluids in magmatic systems. The interaction of fluids, either melt or hydrothermal fluids, with deformation (tectonic or intrusion-induced) can be characterized analysing analogues, preserved in exhumed plutons and melt-rich terranes, contact metamorphic aureoles and hydrothermal ore systems related to magmatic intrusions.
In this session, we welcome multidisciplinary contributions from field studies, experimental geology, numerical modelling, geochemistry and geophysics focussing on the characterization of multi-scale melt-fluid-deformation interplay in magmatic systems. In particular we are looking to attract contributions mainly focussed at the definition of: (i) local emplacement mechanisms and large-scale syn-plutonic geodynamic settings; (ii) the interaction between fluid/melt and deformation in different rheological regimes during melt-rich system evolution, (iii) the relationship of plutonic systems, deformation and fluid flow with high-impact social issues such as seismicity, geothermal energy, and hydrothermal ore genesis and exploitation.
