[CIG-ALL] AGU Session DI014 Oceanic Lithosphere and Mantle -- Modeling

[Ying Zhou]

Dear colleagues,

       We would like to draw your attention to a DI session (Study of
Earth's Deep Interior) on Modeling the Oceanic Lithosphere and Mantle at
the 2019 Fall AGU Meeting:

*Invited Speakers: *
Hitoshi Kawakatsu (University of Tokyo)
Catherine Rychert (University of Southampton)

*DI014. Structure and Evolution of the Oceanic Lithosphere and Mantle ---
II Modeling*
The movements of oceanic lithospheres organize flows in mantle convection
while continental lithospheres, on average, are older and less involved in
convective mass exchange. The structure and dynamics of the oceanic
lithosphere and underlying mantle are important for understanding the
Wilson cycle, hotspot tracks and oceanic plateaus. We welcome contributions
from advances in data analysis, imaging and modeling to better understand
the evolution of the oceanic domain in mantle convection. Example topics
include but are not limited to: spreading center dynamics, lithosphere and
mantle structure beneath mid-ocean ridges, heat flow measurements and
geodynamical modeling, characteristics of mantle flow and seismic
anisotropy in oceanic and continental domains, structures of the
lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), the 410-km and 660-km
discontinuities in oceanic regions and comparative studies in continental
settings, variations in volatiles and rheology and their implications for
mantle convection, on land and offshore expeditions and the initiation of
subduction.
