Following the success of last year’s edition, we are delighted to bring this session back to EGU2027 to keep the community up to date about the most recent advances in inclusion studies!
Understanding the processes shaping our planet is the main goal of Geosciences. Fluid, melt and mineral inclusions offer an invaluable contribution, allowing to directly study unreachable portions of Earth’s interior. Besides constraining pressure, temperature and oxygen fugacity conditions at the time of their formation, inclusions can provide innumerable geochemical information, shedding light on fluid and melt sources, chemistry, physical state, migration and interactions occurring from sedimentary and magmatic environments to orogenic belts, subduction zones and deep into Earth’s mantle. The recent development of high-resolution analytical techniques, such as Raman microspectroscopy, microthermometry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray and electron diffraction, microtomography, microfluorescence and mass spectroscopy have provided an unprecedented level of details from micro- to nano-scale, highlighting features never observed before and opening new scenarios in Earth’s dynamics.
Contributions from innovative studies on fluid, melt and mineral inclusions and their relationships with host mineral phases are welcome from any field of Geosciences, from magmatism, metamorphism and deep mantle dynamics to palaeoclimatology and sedimentary processes, and petroleum and ore deposits. Works presenting innovative and advanced tools to investigate natural samples, as well as experimental studies, are invited. Early career researchers are strongly encouraged to present their contributions.
