[S-IT41_28PM2] Origin, Evolution, Destruction, and Recycling of Oceanic Plate

Mon. Apr 28, 2014 4:15 PM - 6:00 PM 314 (3F)

Convener:*Tomoaki Morishita(School of Natural System, Colleage of Science and Technology, Kanazawa University), Toshitsugu Yamazaki(Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo), Nobukazu Seama(Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Kobe University), Ryo Anma(Faculty of Life and Environmental Science, University of Tsukuba), Hidenori Kumagai(Independent Administrative Institution, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Daisuke Nakamura(Okayama University), Chair:Daisuke Nakamura(Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University), Yuki Kusano(School of Natural system, College of Science and Engineering, Kanazawa University)

Formation and subduction of oceanic plate play an important role in the thermochemical evolution of the Earth interior and surface environmental conditions including biological activities. However, we have never clearly answered basic questions: such as (1) Origin and modification (metamorphism and alteration coupled with biological activities) of oceanic plate before and after subduction, (2) Impact of destruction of oceanic plate on subduction zone processes, such as volcanism and earthquake, (3) Differences between mid-ocean ridge and back arc settings. In order to understand the origin, evolution and deconstruction of oceanic plate, the session invites contributions from a range of geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, modeling, simulation and biology working on intact as well as fossil oceanic lithosphere, e.g., ophiolite.
