[CIG-ALL] AGU Session: A multi-disciplinary View of Mantle Heterogeneity: Linking Earth’s Chemical, Physical, and Dynamical Evolution

[Liu, Lijun]

Hi all,

I am posting on behave of my students about this AGU session. Welcome to submit an abstract!

Thanks for your attention,
Lijun

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to our session entitled:

DI004: A multi-disciplinary View of Mantle Heterogeneity: Linking Earth’s Chemical, Physical, and Dynamical Evolution

The deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, 1 August 23:59 EDT.

Advances in geophysical modeling of Earth's mantle reveal in increasing detail its heterogeneous, three-dimensional structure. Mineral physics allows this heterogeneous structure to be interpreted in terms of compositional or thermal anomalies that deviate from an ambient mantle. Geochemical analyses of mantle-derived samples provide additional evidence for a compositionally heterogeneous mantle and, in some cases, its temporal history. The heterogeneous nature of the mantle as characterized by these disparate (yet inter-related) datasets is ultimately controlled by the dynamical evolution of our planet, however, details surrounding the nature of these heterogeneities remain debated.

This session will explore mantle heterogeneities in a multi-disciplinary perspective from the uppermost mantle to the core-mantle-boundary. This includes observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical approaches that investigate links between the physics and chemistry of Earth's interior. We also encourage abstracts that use novel data collection and visualization techniques to further understand the structure and dynamics of Earth's mantle.
