Please submit your abstract via the following link: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/Q2wCCE8wmrt0mjxRrtNfMF7NDS6?domain=meetingorganizer.copernicus.org Note the *abstract submission deadline is 15 January 2026 at 13:00 CET*. _Session abstract_ Geodynamic and tectonic processes interacting across scales are the key engines in shaping the structural, thermal and petrological configuration of the crust and lithosphere. They constantly modify the thermal, hydraulic and mechanical rock properties, ultimately leading to a heterogeneous endowment of (often co-located) subsurface resources. Supporting the transition to sustainable low-carbon economies at scale poses significant challenges and opportunities for the global geoscience community. Improved integration and tighter interdisciplinary understanding of the subsurface processes that can provide access to alternative energy supplies and critical raw materials is needed, as are unifying science-backed exploration strategies and resource assessment workflows. This session aims to improve our scientific understanding of the pathways and interdependencies that lead to the concentration of economic quantities of energy carriers or noble gases, mineral resources, and the formation of exploitable geothermal reservoirs. Further, it also focuses on providing input for exploration decision-making and scientific input for policy making as well as for the strategic planning of collaborative research initiatives. We invite studies on observational data analysis, instrumentation, numerical modeling, laboratory experiments, and geological engineering, with an emphasis on integrated approaches/datasets which address the geological history of such systems as well as their spatial characteristics for sub-topics such as: * *Geothermal systems*: key challenges in successfully exploiting geothermal energy are related to observational gaps in lithological heterogeneities and tectonic (fault) structures and sweet-spotting zones of sufficient permeability for fluid extraction. * *Geological (white/natural) hydrogen (H2) and helium (He) resources*: potential of source rocks, conversion kinetics, migration and possible accumulation processes through geological time, along with detection, characterisation, and quantification of sources, fluxes, shallow subsurface interactions and surface leakage. * *Ore deposits*: To meet the global continued demand for metal resources, new methods are required to discover new ore deposits and assess the spatio-temporal and geodynamic characteristics of favourable conditions to generate metallogenic deposits, transport pathways, and host sequences. Please feel free to*forward this invitation* to any people you think may be interested. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us. Looking forward to your contribution.

Please note the abstract submission deadline of 15 January 2026. Hope to see you there! GD7.1/EMRP1/SM9/TS10*Anisotropy from crust to core: Observations, models and implications* 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 mechanical 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 mechanical anisotropy at all scales and depths within the Earth.
