Dear colleagues,

If you are attending AGU and have an interest in deformation, dynamics, and
fabrics in the Earth's interior please consider submitting an abstract to
our session DI005 - Exploring Innovations and New Directions in Seismic
Anisotropy: Observations, Models, and Experiments
https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/230142.

Session Description: Studying seismic anisotropy provides powerful insights
into the mineralogy, structure, and dynamic processes from the Earth’s
crust to core. The growing volume of seismic data and novel analysis
methods have placed new constraints on lithospheric, mantle, and core
processes. Computational developments, including advances in machine
learning, allow for the simulation of geologic processes at unprecedented
resolution, permitting direct comparison to observations. Finally, recent
advances in microstructural analyses of naturally and experimentally
deformed samples can inform how larger scale observations of seismic
anisotropy relate to flow and deformation within Earth’s interior.
Collaboration between these fields will bring exciting insights into our
planet’s subsurface.

This session seeks to explore new and interesting directions in analyzing,
imaging, modeling, and interpreting seismic anisotropy. We invite
submissions from all branches of the Earth and Planetary Sciences including
seismology, petrology, geodynamics, tectonophysics, and mineral physics.
Cross-disciplinary studies are also encouraged.

On behalf of the conveners,

Andrew Birkey - University of Delaware

Rachel Bernard - Amherst College

Lindsey Kenyon - University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

Brandon VanderBeek - University of Padua

Prajna Paramita Das - University of California, Berkeley
