From s.goes at imperial.ac.uk Thu Jul 4 08:19:34 2019 From: s.goes at imperial.ac.uk (Goes, Saskia) Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2019 22:19:34 +0000 Subject: [Geodynamics] interdisciplinary AGU session: S040 - Using observables to infer mantle physical state Message-ID: <7FD872CE-2A8C-41BE-B67F-30CD54C1B002@imperial.ac.uk> Dear Colleages, We hope you will consider our multidisiciplinary AGU session: ?S040 - Using observables to infer mantle physical state" As data quantity and quality increase, and methods to analyze it become increasingly sophisticated, a deep understanding of the mapping between geophysical and other model outputs, such as velocity, to physical state values, such as temperature, becomes necessary. However, uncertainty in the model outputs as well as the underlying physics creates challenges in using data to directly address questions relating to Earth processes. In this session, we welcome contributions from seismology, geophysics, petrology, and geochemistry that use observeables to infer the temperature, composition, flow, fabric, and melting state of the lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle, as well as methodological advances to this mapping. We would particularly welcome mineral physics contributions that improve the ability to infer physical state from observables. We hope you will consider submitting an abstract (deadline July 31, 2019).

The deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday July 31st. DI010: Heterogeneity in the Earth: Multi-disciplinary Perspectives from Imaging, Modeling, Geochemistry and Experiments https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/bULSClxwB5CK9EpLTGuksB?domain=agu.confex.com Studies of heterogeneity provide a critical record of potential geochemical reservoirs, long-term tectonic processes and current snapshots of the Earth?s deep interior. Recent progress in seismology, geochemistry, geodynamics, and mineral physics constrain heterogeneity across a range of spatial scales. Advancements in imaging with the full spectrum of seismic data have afforded multi-scale constraints on parameters like attenuation, anisotropy, and density. New geochemical data have refined our understanding of Earth accretion, differentiation, and the onset of plate tectonics. Experimental and computational studies of mineral physics have improved constraints on materials at extreme conditions, permitting advanced geodynamic reconstructions. Heterogeneity implies variation in intrinsic properties like temperature, composition, grain size, or crystal structure, effects that need to be deconvolved through observations, experiments and atomistic simulations. We invite submissions that employ novel analytical and visualization techniques to explore the nature of heterogeneities and their relation to surface observables at local, regional, and global scales.

As part of my internship and work in Science Outreach, I wanted to learn more about the varying experiences of men and women in Earth Science, and to discuss how to move towards greater equity and diversity in the sciences. Our early findings show that Students and Early Career Researchers are looking to social media for positive role-models and that social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook allow access to role-models from diverse backgrounds. These findings are exciting; however, we currently have over one thousand survey responses from women and very few from men. We want responses from men to investigate the effects of gender. The anonymous survey (linked below) aims to investigate the role that social media plays in positively influencing the experiences of women in science. The results of this survey will be presented in the session "14a: Communicating Science: Reaching beyond our community" at Goldschmidt2019, and, "T179, Evidence-Based Theory and Practice of Science Communication in the Geosciences: New Methods, Avenues, and Audiences" at 2019 Geological Society of America Annual Meeting.

Session link: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/rvWVCp8AJQtL6V5NFPdSJc?domain=agu.confex.com Abstract: The dynamics and evolution of Earth?s mantle are governed by structures and processes interacting on a wide range of scales: long-wavelength mantle convection and large thermochemical structures are intimately linked with small-scale processes in the boundary layers, and understanding the effective properties of mantle rocks require insights on the mineral scale. These processes are not only multi-scale spatially but also act over strongly different timescales. Understanding the Earth?s mantle across these scales is an extensive problem typically outside the range of analytical solutions. This invites the application of numerical methods to capture vastly different scales and the development of clever parameterisations to tackle this multi-scale problem. This session will explore the link between Earth?s mantle processes operating on different spatial and/or temporal scales. We invite contributions from various disciplines including geodynamics, seismology, mineral physics, and that highlight computational advances in tackling dynamical problems that span scales in time and space.

However, interpretation of such images is hindered by the finite resolving power of tomography and by non-linear relations between elastic parameters and other quantities of interest, such as composition, density and temperature. These relationships are not only influenced by the material properties of single minerals, but also by changes of the phase assemblage as a function of pressure and temperature. Furthermore, the anelastic nature of minerals adds to the difficulty of interpreting seismic models, as the parameters controlling the associated increase in temperature sensitivity of the velocities are not well-constrained. This session provides a platform to present advances in constraining interpretations of seismic tomography. Of general interest are quantifications of uncertainties, tests of interpretations against independent datasets, theoretical results from geodynamic modelling and mineralogical studies constraining the relationship between temperature and seismic velocity.

Oceanic lithosphere is recycled into the mantle, while continental lithosphere remains mostly intact, buoyant enough to withstand recycling and therefore evolving slowly over geologic time. Because of this dichotomy, the lithosphere is globally heterogeneous. This heterogeneity is manifested in various forms, including rheological, structural and compositional stratification (both lateral and vertical) inherited from both the time of formation and recent tectonic processes. Deciphering the interaction of the lithosphere with the deeper convective mantle is important for the better understanding of lithosphere-mantle coupling processes and to reconcile models with natural observations. *We aim to bring together diverse disciplines that focus on the composition, rheology and deformation of the lithosphere and upper mantle. Some key areas of interest are, but not limited to, lithospheric structure, rheology, morphology, deformation, as well as active and passive margins evolution and dynamics, and subduction processes.* AGU Fall Meeting, *December 9-13, 2019* Abstract *Deadline*: *July 31, 2019* We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco, Kind regards, Conveners of session Roberta Carluccio (University of Melbourne) Heather Ford (University of California Riverside ) Emily J.Chin (Brown University ) D.
