The session aims to bring together geoscientists to explore innovative, multidisciplinary approaches that are expanding the boundaries of our understanding of geomaterials, with an emphasis on silicate melts, glasses, and multiphase systems. Covering a spectrum of topics from volcanology to industrial processing, the session will showcase cutting-edge methodologies, advanced analytical techniques, and novel theoretical frameworks that are revolutionizing the study of igneous rocks and ceramics. Advances in synchrotron-based analysis, computational modeling, nanotechnology, interdisciplinary approaches, and non-conventional experimental methods in petrology and volcanology are key to unraveling the evolution (as a function of temperature and pressure) of multiphase systems (bubbles + crystals + melt) and their timescales, which are closely linked to the rheological, elastic, and mechanical properties of geomaterials. This session will provide an inclusive platform for discussing the current state and future perspectives of research in experimental geosciences, with a particular focus on integrating traditional approaches with new and emerging technologies.
