From bstein at gfz-potsdam.de Sat Feb 2 02:33:55 2019 From: bstein at gfz-potsdam.de (Bernhard Steinberger) Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 16:33:55 +0100 Subject: [Geodynamics] Call for abstracts; session S17 at IUGG Message-ID: <6728eed6-e888-4a94-4e9f-e6dfca346636@gfz-potsdam.de> Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to our session S17 at the 27th IUGG General Assembly in Montreal, Canada, July 8-19, with submission deadline on February 18th. Solicited presentations will be given by Karin Sigloch (University of Oxford) and Fred Richards (Harvard University). Best regards, Bernhard Steinberger and Trond Torsvik LARGE LOW SHEAR VELOCITY PROVINCES AND LOWER MANTLE STRUCTURE The Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) of the lowermost mantle are tomographically-observed regions beneath Africa and the Pacific that exhibit lower-than-average shear-wave velocities. Additional seismic studies infer that they have well-defined boundaries and may be compositionally-distinct from the surrounding mantle. Furthermore, they are spatially correlated with present day hotspots and potentially the original locations of many large igneous provinces. Understanding the cause of and dynamics associated with LLSVPs is critical toward understanding Earth structure, large-scale mantle convection, thermal and chemical evolution, and the source of mantle plumes. This symposium aims to broadly include research from multiple fields (observational, experimental, and theoretical) to better understand the properties and dynamics of LLSVPs and lower mantle structure in general.

The deadline for abstract and travel grant submission is soon, on February 18th (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/em3kCzvOWKiYNp2GC4nFSO?domain=iugg2019montreal.com) JA02 - Geophysical Data Assimilation (IAGA, IACS, IAG, IAHS, IAMAS, IAPSO, IASPEI, IAVCEI) Description: Data assimilation has become a valuable tool for improving our understanding of the Earth and its different dynamical layers, such as the core, mantle, oceans, atmosphere and magnetosphere. By merging sparse observations, complex physical models and their respective errors, data assimilation attempts to unveil hidden features of a given system as well as predicting its evolution. Although its long-term development in the field of meteorology has led to a well-established framework, data assimilation methodologies still bear considerable challenges. Amongst those we can cite the numerical stability of ensemble-based methods such as the Ensemble Kalman Filter, the identification and handling of model errors and biases, the hybridization of variational and sequential approaches, and the usage of multi-model ensembles for parameter estimation. Moreover, in many fields of application, such as core and mantle dynamics, as well as volcanism and space weather, data assimilation remains fairly exploratory. However, these novel applications can provide a platform for further analysis of the aforementioned challenges. This symposium aims at promoting a constructive dialogue between the different geophysical communities with a shared interest in the development of innovative strategies in data assimilation. We therefore particularly encourage the participation of contributions connected to emerging research fields of geophysical data assimilation, as well as the development of libraries, testbeds and computationally efficient data assimilation schemes.

The abstract deadline is Monday, February 18. We hope to see you there! JA11 - Cratonic Structure and Dynamics (IAGA, IASPEI) Cratons record a long history of tectonic events. The result is a complex, stable collage of lithosphere fragments that can continue, however, to experience deformation and modification. Understanding the evolution, composition and structure of cratons remains a challenge, which includes the details of accretion and orogenesis, the roles of inherited structures and lithosphere thinning in past and ongoing deformation, and the mechanisms of craton construction, modification and stabilization. This symposium seeks contributions that address structure, composition, evolution and the dynamic processes that have shaped cratonic lithosphere based on a range of approaches, including seismology and electromagnetic methods and other geophysical methods; geochemistry, petrophysics and geodynamic modelling. We particularly welcome integrated geophysical imaging techniques that cross disciplinary boundaries and those that link lithosphere dynamics with processes occurring at the Earth?s surface and the deeper mantle.
