International conference
Ore potential of alkaline, kimberlite and carbonatite magmatism.
School «Geochemistry of Alkaline rocks»
12-16 September 2011, Minsk
Dear colleagues! We invite you to participate in the International conference «Geochemistry of magmatic rocks» as a part of a school «Geochemistry of Alkaline rocks».
The following topics are suggested:
· Genesis of alkaline magmatism: general view
· Potassium alkaline rocks, lampoites and kimberlites
· Geochemistry, petrology and ore potential of alkaline-carbonatitic series
· Geochemistry and petrology of mafic- and ultramafic rocks
· Geochemistry, petrology and ore potential of granitoids
· Mineralogy of alkaline rocks and carbonatites
· The experimental data for alkaline rocks petrogenesis
Abstracts and summaries will be published in a special book and in the e-print form on the Conference web-site http://alkaline2011.web.ru/.
Abstracts and summaries in Russian are welcome, but not necessary for not Russian-speaking participants.
The abstract submission deadline is extended up to 31/05/2011.

Isotopic signature of the Siberian flood basalts and alkaline magmatism of Polar Siberia
Kogarko L.N.*, Zartman R.*** Vernadsky Institute of geochemistry and analytical chemistry, Moscow, Russia;
** Harward University, Harward, USA.
On the base of the Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic data, we illustrated a genetic link between the Siberian flood basalts (SFB) and the ultramafic-alkaline rocks of the Maimecha-Kotuy province…….
A close association between alkaline magmatism and continental flood basalts is observed worldwide. Nevertheless, the problem of a genetic link between the Siberian flood basalts (SFB) and the ultramafic-alkaline rocks of the Maimecha-Kotuy province in Polar Siberia is still being debated.
