Here I?d like to advertise our broad and multidisciplinary session on active rifts and rifted margins entitled "Continental Rift Evolution: Tectonics, Topography, Transients". We already received fascinating abstracts taking us to the North Atlantic, East Asia, Antarctica, East Africa and the Red Sea. We are also happy to announce a solicited presentation by Hans Christian Larsen and Geoffroy Mohn entitled "South China Sea rifted margin structure: A cross between magma-poor and magma-rich margin formation?" You can submit abstracts to our session until 13:00 CET of this week?s Thursday (10th of January 2019) through this link: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/AwYrCk8vAZtv2loOs2oq-v?domain=meetingorganizer.copernicus.org .

This session aims at combining new data sets, concepts and techniques elucidating the structure and dynamics of rifts and rifted margins. We invite submissions highlighting the time-dependent evolution of processes such as initiation of faults and ductile shear zones, tectono-magmatic and sedimentary history, lithospheric necking and rift strength loss, influence of the pre-rift lithospheric structure, mantle dynamics and associated effects on rifting processes, as well as continental break-up and the transition to sea-floor spreading. We encourage contributions using multi-disciplinary and innovative methods from field geology, geochronology, seismology, geodesy, marine geophysics, plate reconstruction, or modeling. Focus regions may include but are not limited to the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and South China Sea (e.g. IODP 367/368 area) rifted margins, or the East African, Eger, Baikal and Gulf of California rift systems. Special emphasis will be given to presentations that provide an integrated picture by combining results from active rifts, passive margins, failed rift arms or by bridging the temporal and spatial scales associated with rifting.

The lithosphere, the outermost shell of the Earth, constitutes the upper thermal boundary layer of mantle convection. It is well established that its properties play a central role in the development of solid Earth dynamics. Through its properties the lithosphere also provides a primary source of thermal and chemical anomalies for mantle convection when it is injected in the mantle as subducting slabs. Here, the subduction of cold and dense oceanic lithosphere into the underlying mantle acts as the major driving force of plate motion, and as a key component of the water and carbon cycles throughout the Earth. At the global scale, some of these lithosphere heterogeneities include rheological stratifications, sutures, fracture zones, and lateral and vertical variations in temperature and composition. These exist at various scales and play a major role in determining subduction dynamics and the degree of lithosphere-mantle decoupling. Deciphering the interaction of the lithosphere with the underlying asthenosphere and deeper mantle is critical to understanding the secular evolution of the Earth system and to reconcile models with natural observations. This session aims to highlight recent advances in constraining the scales and amplitudes of heterogeneities in the lithosphere as well as their dynamic role. We welcome multidisciplinary contributions. Some key areas of interest are lithospheric structure and morphology, subduction kinematics and dynamics, slab-mantle interaction and slab deformation, active margin tectonics and subduction-induced seismicity. -- *Roberta Carluccio* PhD student, Geophysics and Geodynamics, School of Earth Science, University of Melbourne, Room 302, McCoy Building, 253-283 Elgin St, Carlton VIC 3053, AU.

Our solicited speaker will be Maelis Arnould (ENS Paris). On behalf of all the convenors (cc'ed) Maxim Ballmer ......................................................... GD3.4/GMPV2.8/PS1.13/SM4.12/TS9.4 Causes and consequences of mantle upwellings Mantle upwellings are an important component of the Earth?s convective system that can cause volcanism and anomalies in surface topography. Upwellings can rise from thermal boundary layers as hot ?mantle plumes?. Alternatively, they can be the response to upper-mantle convective flow, subduction, or rifting. Clearly, different mechanisms sustain mantle upwellings of various temperature, vigour and composition, causing characteristic signals that can potentially be imaged using geophysical data, as well as expressed in the geochemistry and petrology of related magmatism. This session invites contributions that focus on mantle upwellings from geophysics, geochemistry, and modelling perspectives. Our aim is to bring together constraints from multiple disciplines to understand the origin and dynamics of mantle upwellings, as well as their potential to trigger mantle melting, create volcanism, generate ore deposits, and build dynamic topography. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Following are the session details: Session 3n: Integrating geochemical proxies and geodynamics Convenors: Christopher Spencer, Paul Tackley, Ross Mitchell Keynote speaker: Jun Korenaga (Yale University) Invited speakers: Elvira Mulyukova, Brenhin Keller For decades, the fields of geochemistry and geodynamics have been viewed by many as only being loosely connected. ?It?s only a model? has long been an excuse to explain the discrepancies between geodynamic modelling and empirical geologic evidence. However, recent advances not only in the accuracy of numerical modelling but also better understanding of the geochemical proxies used to constrain Earth processes has facilitated agreement between the geologic record and the numerical models used to describe them. The merging of geodynamics and geochemical proxies provides a clear avenue to constrain longstanding questions relating to the formation, evolution, and recycling of the lithosphere throughout geologic time. This session is aimed to highlight the advances in integrating geologic proxies and geodynamics. We welcome presentations spanning spatial and temporal scales from the planetary to mineral scale. The abstract submission portal is now open with a deadline of 29 March 2019. The conference scheduled for 18 to 23 August in Barcelona. Abstract can be submitted here.

The deadline for abstract and travel grant submission is February 18th ( https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/egCHCNLwM9ik6RVBtmz8-_?domain=iugg2019montreal.com JA02 - Geophysical Data Assimilation (IAGA, IACS, IAG, IAHS, IAMAS, IAPSO, ASPEI, 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.
