From estherjames at g.harvard.edu Mon Aug 1 22:00:00 2022 From: estherjames at g.harvard.edu (James, Esther) Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 08:00:00 -0400 Subject: [Geodynamics] AGU Session DI008 - Constraining the Thermal Structure in the Upper Mantle with Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Multiple Datasets Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, We invite you to consider submitting your abstract to our session, *DI008 - Constraining the Thermal Structure in the Upper Mantle with Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Multiple Datasets*, for an in-person or virtual presentation in December. To submit your abstract by the abstract submission deadline on Wednesday (August 3rd), please go to https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/82PkCJyBrGf8095BguVbuwh?domain=agu.confex.com. *Invited speakers:* Colleen A Dalton Eric Debayle *Session description:* The thermal evolution of the oceanic upper mantle has long been explored with seismic tomographic methods such as those that use surface wave phase velocities, surface wave shear velocities, and body wave travel times. Ambient seismic noise datasets have been proven to significantly improve the resolution of source-derived seismic images of oceanic lithosphere, allowing us to put important constraints on physical properties of the mantle. To complement information obtained from seismological methods, other methods such as petrology, geochemistry, and geophysical modeling must be considered. In this session, we invite contributions from geophysical methods, geodynamic modeling, geochemistry, and multidisciplinary approaches, to provide a comprehensive picture of processes in the upper mantle and advance our understanding of the evolution of oceanic upper mantle. We look forward to your contributions to our session!

Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2022 18:28:08 +0000 Subject: [Geodynamics] AGU fall session: DI009 Exploring multi-scale mantle dynamics with computational methods Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, With the AGU abstract deadline fast approaching, please consider submitting an abstract to our session: DI009. Exploring multi-scale mantle dynamics with computational methods Session description: 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 a problem typically outside the range of analytical solutions. The application of numerical methods to capture vastly different scales and the development of clever parameterisations to tackle this multi-scale problem are necessary. 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. Invited speakers: Anna G?lcher, ETH Zurich Both in-person (in Chicago) and online participation are possible due to the hybrid format of the meeting. Deadline for abstract submission is 3rd August 2022, 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.

The project topic is ?Data Analysis of Strain Evolution in Rifts?. All job details and the application form can be found at this link: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/4eceCjZ1N7ijPy2JYiWJ_Zu?domain=gfz-potsdam.de . This project follows an innovative, multidisciplinary approach by using data analysis techniques in order to interpret big data sets from numerical geodynamic models and geophysical surveys. The post-doctoral researcher's role will be to develop and employ techniques involving computer vision, network and graph analysis to quantify fault dynamics in time-dependent 3D numerical forward models as well as 2D and 3D geophysical data sets. Postdoc responsibilities: ? Developing and using data analysis workflows to extract discrete faults from time-dependent geodynamic models and geophysical data sets ? Conducting and interpreting thermo-mechanical models using the geodynamic research software ASPECT ? Comparison and interpretation of fault characteristics from models and geophysical data ? Interacting and collaborating with other members of the Geodynamic Modelling Section and the Geophysics Department ? Presentation of results at scientific meetings and in publications in peer-reviewed journals Required qualifications: ? Master`s degree (or equivalent) and a PhD in Earth Sciences, Physics, or Engineering ? Experience and knowledge of the development and use of data analysis techniques in geosciences ? Knowledge of and experience with geodynamic modelling, preferentially the ASPECT research code ? Experience in Python programming and model visualization ? Proven ability to work in a collaborative and multi-disciplinary environment ? Creativity and critical thinking skills and the ability to publish, as demonstrated by a record of original and innovative publications ? Capacity for international teamwork, and excellent communication skills Diversity and equal opportunities are integral components of our human resources policy.
