508 Petrochronology 2017
Petrochronology has emerged in the last decade as a preferred approach to geochronology, essentially using chemistry and/or textures to integrate ages in a petrogenetic context of individual crystals or crystal domains. Examples include the use of crystal domain-specific trace element patterns or thermometers in minerals like zircon, garnet, feldspar, etc. to link an age to an overall P-T-t path or evolution of a magma. Petrochronology 2017 will review petrochronologic methods, both conceptual and analytical, and illustrate how accessory and major minerals may be used to understand igneous and metamorphic processes. A Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry volume will be provided to all participants. Limited financial support is available for students (see the petrochronology web page at http://seattle2017.petrochronology.org).
