[CIG-ALL] REMINDER AGU 2015 session: Across the scales: Earth's mantle dynamics through space and time

[O'Farrell, Keely]

Dear colleagues,

With the AGU abstract deadline tomorrow, 5 August 2015, 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT, we wanted to remind everyone submitting an abstract of our session on multi-scale processes in the mantle. Details below.



Session ID#: 8632

DI001: Across the scales: Earth's mantle dynamics through space and time


Session Description:
>From small-scale convection underneath tectonic plates to huge thermochemical features such as the LLSVPs in the lower mantle, mantle dynamics is a multi-scale process! It includes everything from the cooling of the early magma ocean, to the formation of plumes, the assembly of supercontinents and the long-term secular cooling. Revealing how processes on these different temporal and spatial scales operate, interact, and produce surface observations in volcanism, tectonics, gravity anomalies and sea-level changes is thus of great importance for understanding Earth's evolution and dynamics. This session aims to shed light on these processes, including (but not limited to) formation and dynamics of mantle structures, dynamics of plate tectonics and continental drift, and magma ocean dynamics. We welcome theoretical, numerical, laboratory and observational studies from a wide range of disciplines that contribute to understanding these multi-scale processes.
