From fabio.capitanio at monash.edu Mon Oct 27 16:51:29 2025 From: fabio.capitanio at monash.edu (Fabio Capitanio) Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:51:29 +1100 Subject: [Geodynamics] EGU 2026 - Cratons through time: Geodynamics, Geochemistry and the Evolution of a Habitable Planet Message-ID: Dear colleagues, if you plan to join us at the 2026 EGU meeting in Vienna, Austria, Europe, consider submitting your abstract to our session, description below joining the session convener, Jyotirmoy Paul, are Poulami Roy, Desiree Roerdink, Richard Palin and myself hope to see you in Vienna *Cratons through time: Geodynamics, Geochemistry and the Evolution of a Habitable Planet* Cratons hold the record of the oldest crust. Their formation and evolution into a stable continent set the conditions for early life to thrive on this planet. Emergence of Archean cratons above the sea level formed shallow marine environments, which potentially harboured early life, and exposed silicate-rich rocks to surface weathering. It significantly modulated atmospheric CO? levels and helped regulate climate, a fundamental process to sustain long-term habitability. While many cratons survived since Archean, some of them are modified or even destroyed in the recent past. Their destruction might have disrupted lithospheric volatile reservoirs, releasing them into the atmosphere. Insights into these processes can improve present-day Earth system models, particularly those exploring carbon cycling and climate stability. Cratons are also economically significant. They are the primary repository of diamond and also rich in critical minerals essential for modern technologies and the energy transition, making their study increasingly relevant today. For this session, we invite multidisciplinary contributions including but not limited to geodynamics, geochemistry, geology, geophysics, and biogeodynamics. The focus is on investigating craton evolution and its critical role in shaping Earth?s processes, from early planetary development to modern geological history. fabio Fabio A.

The symposium is organized by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Commission 3 and will bring together scientists working on Earth rotation, geodynamics, crustal deformation, and related fields, fostering collaboration across the many disciplines that study the Earth's dynamic behaviour with geodetic methods and datasets. Please save the date: September 28 - October 1, 2026 The symposium will be limited to 150 participants and abstract submission and registration will begin early 2026. Reminders will be sent via mailing lists when abstract submission and registration open. More information about the workshop can be found at https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/G7h1C5QPXJipRWG1YtzfOukYZjn?domain=geodesy.science. The website will be updated with additional information closer to the symposium, so be sure to check back for updates. We're looking forward to seeing you in September 2026! Sincerely, Rebekka Steffen (on behalf of the scientific and local organizing committees) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
