[Geodynamics] AGU session DI002 on seismic anisotropy and mantle flow

[Liu, Lijun]

Dear friends,

Sorry for double posting if it occurs.

On behalf of all session conveners, I invite you to submit to our 2017 Fall AGU session:

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.

Confirmed invited presenters:
Thorsten Becker, University of Texas, Austin
Kelly Liu, Missouri University of Science & Technology

Conveners:
Lijun Liu, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, IL, United States
Maureen D Long, Yale University, Department of Geology and Geophysics, New Haven, CT, United States
Margarete Ann Jadamec, University of Houston, Houston, TX, United States
Manuele Faccenda, University of Padova, Padova, Italy
