Sessions in GP:

[1] Session Title: Advances in numerical dynamo modelling
Session Description:
This session welcomes contributions related to new and innovative modeling of earth and planetary dynamos.  This includes, but is not limited to, (1) improvements in computational techniques to increase speed, scalability or accuracy of dynamo models, (2) the addition of novel features to simulate various physical processes in dynamo models, (3) the implementation of data assimilation techniques, and (4) quasigeostrophic and other approximate models.
[2] Session Title: Earth and Planetary magnetic fields and core dynamics
Session Description:
Planetary magnetic fields, and their time changes or secular variation, result from motion of electrically conducting liquid within their interior, typically in their fluid cores. The last few decades have yielded significant advances in our understanding of the dynamics of fluid planetary cores.  Similarly, satellite observations along with new inversion and data modeling methods have given us an unprecedented description of Earth’s magnetic field and that of other planets.   This session invites general contributions relevant to all aspects of planetary magnetic fields and the dynamics of planetary cores.  This includes numerical, theoretical or experimental models focused on dynamo processes, fluid-solid boundary interactions and convection within the inner core.  This also includes descriptive models of Earth’s magnetic field and its secular variation (and that of other planets) reconstructed from observations, as well as dynamical models focused on aspects of the observed time-dependent field.
