Objectives
Bring together experimental petrologists and foster community collaboration to explore subduction zone processes from the slab to the surface
This workshop was designed for experimental petrologists whose work spans subduction zones, from the slab to the surface. The meeting began with a comprehensive overview of the current state of the “arc”, highlighting key open questions on subduction zone volcanism that may be addressed through experimental approaches. Participants explored existing databases including LEPR and traceDs under IEDA for experimental results, and assessed experimental capabilities available within the community. The group finally discussed proposals for community-driven initiatives. The workshop featured invited talks and participant-driven discussion.
SZ4D Mini-workshops are free of charge, open to all, and do not require AGU registration
