Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to our AGU session on continental lower crust. We are eager to hear from a diverse array of researchers, approaches, and fields! The session details are as follows: Probing the Continental Lower Crust Using Multidisciplinary Approaches https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/225597 Understanding the physical and chemical processes that form Earth’s lower continental crust (LCC)—and how that material evolves—is critical for understanding Earth structure, dynamics, chemistry, and seismology. Exhumed crustal sections are essential localities to examine ancient LCC due to their physical exposure, whereas modeling (e.g. thermodynamic and geodynamic), geophysical, and xenolith studies are also important for examining modern-day lower crustal processes. Constraints from multidisciplinary investigations, spanning geochemistry, petrology and geodynamics, are key to developing a process-based framework for the physical and chemical evolution of LCC. This session welcomes contributions on recent developments in studying continental lower crust from multiple directions, including but not limited to the application of structural, petrological, geochemical, geochronological, geodynamic modeling, seismic, heat flow, continental drilling, tectonic reconstructions, and geophysical methods. Invited Speakers: Peter Kelemen (LDEO) Francisco Apen (Princeton University, NAU) Conveners: Wentao Cao (SUNY Fredonia) Joshua Garber (Penn State) Amy Moser (MIT) Mattia Pistone (University of Georgia) Andrew Smye (Penn State) Looking forward to a lively session and meeting. ------ Dr. Joshua M.
