Dear Colleagues,
We're pleased to announce our session for AGU2023
https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting, MR013. Mantle Properties and Processes:
Integrating laboratory, geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/185187 . We are
cross-listed between DI (Study of the Earth’s Deep Interior), MR (Mineral
and Rock Physics), S (Seismology), and T (Tectonophysics), and we aim to
attract solid-earth scientists from all specialties aiming to investigate
Earth’s mantle.
Invited presenters Juliane Dannberg from University of Florida and Samer
Naif from Georgia Tech will talk about new modeling and resistivity
studies. We invite all research focused on integrating new datasets to
constrain mantle properties and/or elucidate mantle processes.
Session description:
3-D variations in mantle temperature, density, viscosity, and composition
are necessary to accurately model global tectonics. Recent improvements in
geophysical datasets and advances in imaging techniques have provided
unprecedented resolution of Earth's mantle wave speed, anisotropy,
attenuation, resistivity, and density. Still, ambiguity exists in
interpretation of mantle parameters such as temperature, grain size,
viscosity, and melt/volatile content, which influence and/or record
geologic processes. Recent laboratory experiments and field observations
probe grain-scale properties to quantify their influence on geophysical
observables, providing the framework to connect geophysical observations to
the underlying physical processes. Extrapolation of laboratory-derived
constraints to Earth conditions is associated with uncertainties, and
comparison of predictions against geophysical observables is necessary to
evaluate model success. We welcome contributions from all solid-earth
fields including seismology, geophysics, geochemistry, and geology that
integrate or compare laboratory and field-based constraints with
geophysical observations to quantify mantle properties and processes.
We look forward to learning more about your work in December!
Conveners: William Shinevar (CU Boulder); Esther James (Harvard); Joshua
Russell (Syracuse); Hatsuki Yamauchi (LDEO)
