Fermor Meeting 2017: Factory Earth

25th September 2017 @ 8:00 am - 27th September 2017 @ 5:00 pm

It is more than 10-years since the last detailed look at the role that volcanic and magmatic processes play in the role of ore deposits formation. The topic is still current and is ready for a wide-ranging reassessment.

The meeting will address the fundamental controls on metal transport and deposition in magmatic systems and address questions such as:

  • What role do sulfide melts play in metal transport?
  • What are the key components of fertile magmas and how can they be identified?
  • What role do volatiles and semi-metals play in transporting and depositing metals?
  • How are ore metals concentrated during magmatic differentiation and transferred to the hydrothermal environment?

Topics for Discussion

  • Volcanic and ore processes: timescales and catastrophes
  • Magmatic hydrothermal plumbing systems
  • Sulfides through the crust: melts, minerals and volatiles
  • Volatile compositions
  • Magmatic and hydrothermal systems from mantle to surface

Confirmed Keynote Speakers

Professor Jon Blundy, University of Bristol

Professor Tamsin Mather, University of Oxford

Professor John Mavrogenes, Australian National University
