Dear mineralogists and beyond,
Presenting at the AGU 2024https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Home/0 meeting is a great way to showcase your research on planetary materials within the wider context of earth and space sciences. Please consider submitting an abstract to the session MR002 https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/227212 “A Journey Into Planetary Interiors: How the Properties and Interactions of Planetary Materials Drive Dynamical Processes and Shape Planets and Moons” by July 31st. We are looking forward to your contributions, for example, in the area of mineral physics, petrogenesis, and more. See the abstract below for more detail.
MR002 - A Journey into Planetary Interiors: How the Properties and Interactions of Planetary Materials Drive Dynamical Processes and Shape Planets and Moons
The thermal and dynamic evolution in the interiors of planetary bodies is controlled by the chemical and physical properties of their mineralogical and icy components. The advances made in exploring planets within and beyond our solar system show that the Earth’s structure and dynamic processes are only one possibility. Furthermore, novel experimental and theoretical techniques allow us to gain insight into their enigmatic interiors.
We welcome abstracts aimed at unraveling the physical and thermal properties, ranging from micro- to macro-scale, of mantle- and core-forming phases in rocky and icy worlds. We seek insights into how these properties affect the dynamics and evolution of planets, for example implications of minerals’ microscopic properties on macroscopic petrofabrics and global processes like mantle convection. The aim is to stimulate dialogue regarding the relation between experimentally and theoretically derived material properties, and how such data can be applied to dynamic modeling of planetary interiors.
Looking forward to your submissions!
