To understand multiphase magma properties, knowledge of the physical, chemical and thermodynamic properties of silicate melts and glasses is required. Furthermore, there is a complex interplay between these properties and both atomic scale structure and dynamics of the melt network and macro-scale behaviour of the bulk magma. Such an interplay dictates the petrologic evolution of magmas and is responsible for the observed geochemical patterns of volatile release and trace element abundances.
We strongly encourage the submission of contributions focusing on i) melt/glass thermodynamics with emphasis on mixing properties, ii) spectroscopic evidence for short and medium range structure, iii) the role of cationic and anionic interactions on transport properties, iv) volatile solubility and diffusivity, v) speciation behaviour of elements, with emphasis on volatiles and trace elements, vi) redox properties and the structural role of transition elements, vii) the glass transition, viii) rheological properties of magmas, with emphasis on both melt and multiphase systems showing complex rheology, ix) experimental and computational determination of phase diagrams, particularly in volatile-bearing systems, and their impact for the study of magma properties.
We also encourage contributions on ab initio modelling of melt thermodynamics and structures and advances in analytical and spectroscopic techniques for glass/melt characterisation, especially in the field of high-pressure research. Finally, applications to both natural magmas and glasses as well as to industrial processes will be welcome.
