[Geodynamics] Mantle dynamics session at EGU2026

[Berta Vilacis]

Dear colleagues,

Yi-Wei Chen, Hans-Peter Bunge, Anke Friedrich, Roland Pail and 
myself invite you to consider to submit an abstract in the GD1.3 session 
we are organising for EGU2026 titled /Geophysical modelling of vertical 
motion processes constrained by seismic, geodetic and geological 
observations. /

Our solicited speakers are Sia Ghelichkhan from ANU and Prof. Mark 
Richards from UC Berkeley. The abstract of the session is pasted below.

The deadline for the abstracts is the Thursday 15th of January at 13hrs 
CET.  In the following link you can submit your abstract to our session:

Best regards,

/Abstract: /

    Mantle convection is a fundamental process of the Earth. Direct
    observations of this process are obtained through a variety of
    multiscale methods. They may provide constrains to estimate
    fundamental parameters for the Earth mantle structure (e.g.,
    viscosity, density and temperature). Seismic imaging and gravity
    data, for instance, provide a snapshot of processes occurring in the
    present-day mantle. Geochemical analysis of trace elements can be
    used to estimate temperature and depths of melt generation.
    Histories of large scale horizontal and vertical lithosphere motion
    recorded in the stratigraphic data hold important information on the
    evolving mantle buoyancies. Altogether these classes of observations
    would provide powerful constraints for geodynamic forward and
    inverse models of past mantle convection.
    This session aims to provide a holistic view of the Earth mantle and
    their evolution through time. We welcome contributions from seismic
    tomography, anisotropy studies, geochemistry, plate kinematics,
    structural geology and theoretical models that address questions
    surrounding Earth’s mantle an its evolution in the Cretaceous and
    Cenozoic times. Studies using a multidisciplinary approach are
    particularly encouraged.
