Hello MSA Talk, On behalf of the organizing committee, I am excited to invite you to a half-day free webinar hosted by the CIG (Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics). Exploring Thermodynamic Computational Models in Geodynamics Webinar Date: Monday, May 11 Time: 8A - noon PDT [Register<https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting/register/GCa30xgtSsuCe8GX_Kh3qA>] [more info<https://geodynamics.org/events/details/389>] The tectonic and magmatic evolution of the solid Earth is fundamentally coupled to thermodynamic and petrologic processes occurring at vastly different scales. With the increasing sophistication of computational models in both mineral physics and geodynamics, our ability to simulate the coupled feedbacks between these processes has revealed new dynamics and set the stage for significant advances over the next decade. In this special half-day webinar, we bring together authors of thermodynamic modeling codes to outline the fundamental principles of the basis of their software and describe its structure to better enable incorporation in geodynamic models. Participants may share their research through lightning talks to catalyze discussions. Invited Teams: * Python-Melts. Paul Asimow, Mathew Gleason, and Penny Weiser. * ENKI-TerraFerma. Cian Wilson. * BurnMan. Bob Myhill. * MAGEMIN. Nicolas Reil. * Hefesto. Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni and Lars Stixrude.
