Characterization of the processes that govern the behavior, budget, and recycling of volatiles in the Earth's interior is fundamental to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solid Earth, its oceans, and atmosphere. In the proposed session, we will focus on theoretical, experimental, and observational characterization of solubility and solution mechanisms of C-O-H-N-S volatiles in molten and crystalline materials and of oxide components in C-O-H-N-S fluid in the pressure, temperature, composition and redox range of Earth's past and current interior. The major session foci will be: ?Modeling the impact of C-O-H-N-S fluids on composition and evolution of the Earth via metasomatic and magmatic processes. ?Characterization of structure and properties in silicate- C-O-H-N-S melt, mineral, and fluid systems via theoretical modeling and high-temperature/-pressure experimental studies.?Experimental characterization, at high temperature and pressure, of fractionation of components, compounds and isotopes in the C-O-H-N-S system between minerals, melts, and fluids.?Element complexing in individual phases, interaction between silicate and trace and minor elements in fluids and melts at high temperature and pressure.?Examine the principles on which to quantify property behavior and its application to natural processes that include fluids and melts.
