Mantle melting and melt transport are fundamental processes that are essential for understanding the dynamics of plate boundaries as well as the geochemical evolution of the planet. Computationally, these problems are quite challenging and involve the addition of new physics and multiple temporal/spatial scales to mantle convection and tectonic deformation models. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss current progress and future goals for understanding and modeling magmatic processes in the Earth. In particular, we wanted to discuss opportunities for new software development afforded by CIG that would enable researchers to explore new science and better integrate theory with observations. The meeting was held from August 18-19, 2006, at the Morningside Campus of Columbia University.

Attendees make and pay for their own travel arrangements. This includes reserving and paying for a hotel room. CIG has negotiated a discount for a certain number of hotel rooms (described below). However, the discount is only available on a first-come, first-served basis.
A limited amount of support is available to attendees, issued as a reimbursement after the meeting concludes. Air travel must be via a US-based carrier in order to receive reimbursement.
