Since planetary accretion, water has been exchanged between the hydrosphere and the geosphere, but its depth distribution in the mantle remains elusive. Water drastically reduces the strength of olivine and this effect can be exploited ... read full article . S. Barbot Top.

Thanks, -Derek ----- The Earth System Petrology group in the Department of Geoscience at Aarhus University is again offering its two-week intensive Ph.D. course in Deep Earth Systems (Forging links between petrology and geophysics) from 2 - 13 October, 2017. This Ph.D. course is designed for strengthening students' background in thermodynamics, phase equilibria, heat and mass transfer, continuum mechanics, elasticity and viscoelastic theory, wave propagation, and rheology, important for integrating petrologic and geophysical (especially seismological) observations, and modeling processes of the deep earth. The course will build a foundation of understanding based on first-principles that links the constitution of Earth materials to their stability and mechanical behavior, and reinforces these concepts through exercises, critical reviews of the literature and group projects. The Ph.D. course is team-taught by Aarhus faculty and invited experts in petrology, geophysics/seismology and geodynamics. There are no tuition or registration fees. Students are, however, responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs. Once admitted to the course, local travel and accommodation details will be provided. Applications must be received by 16th June, 2017. Please refer to the course webpage for more information and application procedure: http://volcano.au.dk/deep-earth-systems-phd-course/ Please distribute this announcement to your peers and students. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lara O'Dwyer Brown, Ph.D. Program Coordinator Niels Bohr Professorship in Geoscience +45 87 15 64 69 Høegh-Guldbergs Gade 2, 8000 Aarhus C Denmark odwyerbrown at geo.au.dk volcano.au.dk facebook.com/earthsystempetrology twitter.com/espetrology -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Modeled after similar series in the geosciences, the CIG Speaker Series seeks to promote computational modeling in geodynamics and related earth science disciplines. Speakers are drawn from a diverse pool of experts with exceptional capability to communicate the power of computation for understanding the dynamic forces that shape the surface and operate in the interior of our planet. Lectures are aimed at a broad scientific audience suitable for departmental or university colloquia series, and similar venues. Institutions with strong math and computational science departments or with diverse populations that are underrepresented in STEM are encouraged to apply. The Speaker Series goals are: To increase awareness of computational geophysics and computational sciences as a career by bringing dynamic scientific talks to new audiences. To bring computational geodynamics speakers to institutions that may not otherwise have access to speakers with expertise in computational science or computational geophysics. To connect speakers and CIG with audiences from a variety of STEM domains, and to broaden participation in CIG. To work toward building a more diverse community within computational geodynamics. We are currently seeking nominations for speakers for 2017-2018. Self nominations are accepted. Full application instructions can be found on our website: Please send your nominations by Friday May 5 to: speakers at geodynamics.org Best, -Lorraine ***************************** Lorraine Hwang, Ph.D. Associate Director, CIG 530.752.3656 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From andyf at iris.edu Thu May 18 08:00:16 2017 From: andyf at iris.edu (Andy Frassetto) Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 11:00:16 -0400 Subject: [CIG-ALL] SZ4D Initiative final report and 1-pager available Message-ID: <15216b05-2ee2-e25e-a932-9ab2453766d1@iris.edu> Following the announcement here of a SZO workshop report draft in early April, the writing committee has finalized this report after extensive community review and input. “The SZ4D Initiative: Understanding the Processes that Underlie Subduction Zone Hazards in 4D” document presents the range of views discussed at the workshop on the high-priority science targets, the critical gaps that are holding back subduction zone science, the need for interdisciplinary in-reach and capacity-building outreach, and the promising paths forward that the academic, national agency, and international communities could pursue in the coming years to transform subduction zone science. Taken together, these views lead to a vision for a new SZ4D Initiative to capture and model the spatial and temporal evolution of subduction zones. This report and a 1-pager for more general audiences are available through the workshop website: https://www.iris.edu/hq/workshops/2016/09/szo_16/ Sincerely, Jeff McGuire, Terry Plank, and the entire SZO workshop organizing and writing team From ljhwang at ucdavis.edu Sun May 21 21:52:52 2017 From: ljhwang at ucdavis.edu (Lorraine Hwang) Date: Sun, 21 May 2017 21:52:52 -0700 Subject: [CIG-ALL] CIG - Deadlines for Upcoming Workshops is Friday May 26 Message-ID: <78FE4D01-478F-4537-A0EE-753622E0F8F7@ucdavis.edu> 2017 CIG-LLNL Computational Seismology Workshop https://geodynamics.org/cig/events/calendar/swhav/?eID=1326 The goal of the workshop is to provide participants with hands-on, end-to-end experience in accessing, processing, modeling, and visualizing seismic data using advanced tools in seismological research. Participants will have access to FDSN data centers and HPC resources through the Livermore Open Campus (LVOC) to obtain and process seismic waveform data, run 3-D simulations to simulate the seismic wavefield in realistic 3D Earth models, and visualize the results. Tutorials will be offered in ObsPy, SW4, SPECFEM3D, and more! The workshop will include keynote talks on computational seismology, leading edge research, and tutorials. Software tutorials will include independent exercises and time for participants to tinker with their own research problems. Participants will share their research through posters and lighting talks to encourage scientific exchange. This workshop is close to capacity Deadline to apply is May 26. ALL foreign nationals must apply by this date. 15th International Workshop on Modeling of Mantle and Lithosphere Dynamics - NetherMod https://geodynamics.org/cig/events/calendar/nethermod/?eID=1314 Travel support is available for early career U.S. scientists.
