Cryogenic carbonates
Co-sponsored by IAS
Convener: Péter Németh | Co-conveners: Gabriella KoltaiECSECS, Katja GoetschlECSECS
Carbonates precipitated from freezing solutions are indicators of cryogenic conditions. They have unique mineralogy, preserve distinctive geochemical signature and their occurrence is in the focus of paleoclimate research. To understand the wealth of information recorded by them requires detailed mineralogical, petrological, sedimentological and geochemical investigations of natural and synthetic samples.
This session aims to improve our understanding of cryogenic carbonate distribution, origin, composition and mode of formation. We welcome oral and poster presentations from a wide range of research topics dealing with the occurrence, mineralogy, petrology, sedimentology and geochemistry of natural and synthetic cryogenic carbonates.
