[iris-bulk] AGU Session on the Earth's core - DI06

[IRIS]

Dear colleagues

Please consider submitting your work on the Earth's core to an  
interdisciplinary special session, DI06, which will be convened at the  
Fall 2008 AGU Meeting under the name "The ins and outs of the Earth's  
core". The abstract deadline is 10 September. Please see the  
description of the session below.

Best wishes,

Hrvoje Tkalcic (Hrvoje.Tkalcic at anu.edu.au),
Arwen Deuss (afd28 at cam.ac.uk),
Kanani K. M. Lee (kanani.lee at yale.edu),
Wendy R. Panero (panero.1 at granite.geology.ohio-state.edu)


"Recent observational, experimental, and theoretical studies have  
revealed new discoveries on the structure and dynamics of the Earth's  
core, yet its structure, dynamics, and evolution remain unclear and  
based on precious few direct geophysical observations. Accounting for  
more than 30% of the mass of the planet, the dynamics of the Earth's  
core is responsible of our magnetic field, and determining its  
structure is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of  
the planet. We propose a session focusing on the Earth's core,  
integrating results across disciplines in the Earth sciences. This  
SEDI session will provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of  
new results on the energetics, structure, and dynamics of the inner-  
and outer core of the Earth and other planets. We invite submissions  
drawing from seismology, mineral physics, geodynamics, geomagnetism,  
paleomagnetism, and geochemistry, with a goal of making progress in  
integrating our understanding of the physical properties of the  
deepest and most inaccessible region of the Earth."

We would like to encourage submissions from seismologists, mineral  
physicists, geodynamo modelers, and a wide range of scientists whose  
work is related to the understanding of the Earth's core. Please  
kindly consider submitting your work to this session and you will  
contribute to its success.

The abstract submission deadline is 10 September.

Conveners:
Kanani K. M. Lee - Yale University
Wendy R. Panero - Ohio State University
Arwen Deuss - University of Cambridge
Hrvoje Tkalcic - The Australian National University
