Registration is still possible ( http://nethermod.sites.uu.nl/registration/ ) and participants are invited to register as soon as possible (we have a limited number of rooms). Also, abstract templates are now online ( http://nethermod.sites.uu.nl/registration/ ) and should be sent before Aug. 1st, 2017. Finally, please spread the word around you, and help us draw a wide audience and make NetherMod a success! Sincerely, The NetherMod team. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

DI002: Advances in Understanding Earth's Dynamic Processes using Seismic Anisotropy Session Description: Understanding the process and evolution of mantle dynamics represents a fundamental goal of Earth science. However, this has also been a major challenge due to the inaccessible nature of the solid Earth and the various uncertainties in observation and modeling. Recent advances on measuring seismic anisotropy using different geophysical methods generate new constraints on deformation of the Earth’s interior associated with active subduction, lithosphere deformation, mantle circulation, core-mantle boundary processes, as well as the growth of the inner core. Meanwhile, novel analog and numerical modeling techniques and capabilities start to be able to capture the Earth’s dynamic processes at unprecedented levels of resolution and physics. Consequently, new perspectives emerge on the evolution of the crust, lithosphere, mantle, and core. Therefore, we invite submission with a focus on the deformation and structures of the solid Earth from seismic and MT measurements, laboratory simulation, theoretical calculation, and geodynamic modeling.

Funding is available for one position to work on developing new estimates of the mantle viscosity structure, quantifying the associated uncertainty, and combining inverse solutions for the viscosity structure with forward models to explore the development of large-scale structure in the mantle, the effects on heat transport, and the behavior of upwellings and downwellings. A second position is available to study topics of our mutual interest, including but not limited to connections between mantle dynamics and volcanism, volcanic and processes, and geodynamics of icy satellites. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Max Rudolph directly at [ maxrudolph at ucdavis.edu]. Applicants are asked to submit a CV including a list of publications, a statement of research interests, and contact information for three references (email and phone). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until positions are filled. --------------------------------- Max Rudolph Assistant Professor, Earth and Planetary Sciences, UC Davis webpage -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
