[CIG-ALL] SSA-LACSC Meeting Session: Structure and Dynamics of Earth's Mantle

[Elizabeth Vanacore Maher]

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract the session on the structure and
dynamics of Earth's mantle for the joint SSA-LACSC conference to be held in
Miami, Florida, USA on May 14-17. Invited speakers include Vedran Lekic
(University of Maryland) and Min Chen (Michigan State University). The
session description is below for reference.

Abstracts are due on *January 24* and recall that the SSA-LACSC meeting
permits submission of multiple abstracts.

Details about the meeting and abstract submission are available on the
conference website: https://seismology2018.org/


Best wishes and hope to see you in Miami,

Liz and Fenglin
 *Structure and Dynamics of Earth’s Mantle*

Understanding the structure and dynamics of Earth’s mantle provides key
insights into the fate of subducted slabs, the evolution of Earth, the
dynamic forces that help drive large scale surface tectonics and
core-mantle interactions amongst other topics of interest. Recent
advancements in global seismic station coverage as well as advances in
computational techniques have led to a current renaissance in studies of
Earth’s interior. For example, recent P-coda scattering studies and
waveform tomography have provided new insight into the distribution of
mantle heterogeneity and axisymmetric 2.5D theoretical waveform modeling
has provided insight into the influence of topography on waveforms on major
boundaries including the transition zone and core-mantle boundary. This
broad session invites submissions from observational or theoretical studies
in seismology, geophysics and geodynamics exploring Earth’s mantle.
