This session welcomes therefore contributions from a wide range of disciplines, which include, but are not limited to, seismology, gravity and magnetic studies, geodynamics, tectonics, geochemistry, and petrology. Would you be interested in submitting an abstract, we invite you to read the session description below for more details. We are happy to have Graham Pearson and Heather Bedle as keynote speakers in our session. Looking forward to seeing many of you at EGU, Peter Haas, Nicolas Celli and Andrea Tommasi (Conveners) Session description: Cratons form the ancient, stable cores of most of the Earth?s continents. Knowledge about the present-day architecture of cratons is the key to understand the evolution of continental plates. In addition to that, cratons concentrate many economically relevant mineral deposits, which are indispensable for a modern society. For many cratonic regions however, little is still known about the present-day lithospheric structure and how it evolved since the Archean, mainly due to their remoteness and harsh local environmental conditions. Ongoing data acquisition, as well as the usage and optimization of remote and passive techniques have shed new light on the lithospheric architecture of cratonic regions. Recent advancements across several disciplines show that cratons are more varied and fragmented than previously assumed, which has strong implications for geodynamic interactions with the convective mantle and long-term stability. In this session, we welcome contributions across different scales that describe the cratonic lithosphere and its evolution with time, up to the dawn of plate tectonics. We aim to address topics like: characterization and evolution of cratonic crust and lithosphere; coupling between cratonic crust and mantle; mechanisms to form, maintain and destroy cratonic roots; craton-plume interaction; the role of cratons in supercontinent configurations; connection of cratons to mineral deposits. We would like to raise discussions within a multidisciplinary session and therefore welcome contributions across a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to geodynamics, geology, tectonics, seismology, gravity, geochemistry, petrology, as well as joint approaches. -- Peter Haas PhD-Student Institute of Geosciences Christian-Albrechts-Universit?t zu Kiel Otto-Hahn-Platz 1 24118 Kiel, Germany -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We would like to draw your attention to our session *GD1.3**:**Geodynamic drivers of rifting and continental breakup: Understanding the lithospheric response to the synergetic action of plate and plume modes* (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/OBiCC4QOPEiBnJ9M8fOIJ4z?domain=meetingorganizer.copernicus.org) _with invited speaker __Maria Tsekhmistrenko_. It broadly aims to look in the interaction of mantle convection and its surface expressions, with a strong focus on the influence of plume upwellings (more details below).

The former is associated with the cold upper thermal boundary layer, which is the lithosphere, and the latter with the hot lower thermal boundary layer, which sources plumes. Convective buoyancies associated with these modes are significant, capable of driving plate motions. However, they need to be contrasted with plate boundary forces. Oblique rifting and the influence of magma highlight some of the difficulties in understanding these forces. Continental rifts provide an ideal setting to study the interactions of the plume mode and evolving plate boundary forces as the rifting process advances. Numerous observations of continental breakup since the Cretaceous are well documented in the geological archives. They include mapping continental dynamic topography, studying plate kinematic changes, using thermochronological models and petrological observables, and imaging deep structure by seismic tomography to constrain the breakup history. These observations allow one to track the expressions of past mantle flow and further understand the dynamics of continental breakup as the interplay of convective and plate boundary forces. This session aims to provide a holistic view of the causes of continental breakup. We welcome contributions from seismic tomography, anisotropy studies, geochemistry, plate kinematics, structural geology, and numerical models that address questions surrounding mantle-lithosphere interactions. Studies using a multidisciplinary approach are particularly encouraged. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

EGU aims to provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive forum where scientists, especially early career scientists, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. We announced in October that EGU22 will be taking place as a hybrid meeting happening both in-person in Vienna and online. However, given the rapidly changing situation in Europe and around the world, the EGU Programme Committee and Executive leadership wanted to provide you with an update. At present the EGU22 General Assembly is still intended to be a hybrid meeting, with options for online and in-person presentation in vPICO sessions, in-person only presentation for poster and oral sessions, and online interactive display pre-uploads available for every participant, as outlined in the meeting format. We will be following all guidance from the Austrian authorities, including having a dedicated hygiene plan in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees. However, we want to reassure all our attendees that, should the situation change, alternative plans are already in place and we will inform attendees of any changes as soon as possible should this become necessary. Registration for EGU22 will open in mid-January and our next official update will be provided on 3 January, before the closing of abstract submissions on 12 January 2022 at 13.00CET. If you have questions or concerns regarding EGU22, please visit www.egu22.eu or email: egu22 at copernicus.org. We look forward to seeing you in April!

Please consider submitting an abstract to this session. Important dates: - Deadline for abstract submission: 12 January 2022, 13:00 CET *Session description:* Many regions of the Earth, from crust to core, exhibit anisotropic fabrics which can reveal much about geodynamic processes in the subsurface. These fabrics can exist at a variety of scales, from crystallographic orientations to regional structure alignments. In the past few decades, a tremendous body of multidisciplinary research has been dedicated to characterizing anisotropy in the solid Earth and understanding its geodynamical implications. This has included work in fields such as: (1) geophysics, to make in situ observations and construct models of anisotropic properties at a range of depths; (2) mineral physics, to explain the cause of some of these observations; and (3) numerical modelling, to relate the inferred fabrics to regional stress and flow regimes and, thus, geodynamic processes in the Earth. The study of anisotropy in the Solid Earth encompasses topics so diverse that it often appears fragmented according to regions of interest, e.g., the upper or lower crust, oceanic lithosphere, continental lithosphere, cratons, subduction zones, D'', or the inner core. The aim of this session is to bring together scientists working on different aspects of anisotropy to provide a comprehensive overview of the field. We encourage contributions from all disciplines of the earth sciences (including mineral physics, seismology, magnetotellurics, geodynamic modelling) focused on anisotropy at all scales and depths within the Earth.

Key planetary phenomena such as plate tectonics and mantle convection are in fact a symphony of interconnected multi-scale mechanisms. Coupling of rock deformation mechanisms across the scales, however, remains one of the fundamental challenges in terrestrial planet sciences. In this session, we aim to bring together researchers across different disciplines. We invite contributions from observations, experiments, and modelling. Topics may include, but are not restricted to, atomistic simulations, solid-state deformation experiments, (micro-)structural analysis of minerals and rocks, dynamics modelling of Earth?s interior (regional/global scale), and the interactions between these scales. Ultimately, we aim to discuss new paths for future research concerning multi-scale processes in Earth?s interior. We hope that you will consider submitting an abstract to this session!
