Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to our session at AGU:

DI007 - Bridging the observational gap: Integrating laboratory, field, and geophysical datasets to quantify mantle properties and processes

Session description:

Recent improvements in the quality and quantity of geophysical datasets and advances in imaging techniques have provided unprecedented resolution of Earth's mantle wave speed, seismic anisotropy, attenuation, resistivity, and density structure. Still, ambiguity exists in interpretation of parameters such as temperature, grain size, deformation mechanism, viscosity, composition, and melt/volatile content, which influence and/or record geologic processes. Recent laboratory experiments and observations probe the grain-scale properties of Earth materials and quantify their influence on geophysical observables, providing the framework to meaningfully interpret geophysical observations in terms of the underlying physics of mantle materials. Extrapolation of laboratory-derived constraints to Earth conditions is associated with uncertainties, and comparison of predictions against geophysical observables is necessary to evaluate model success. We welcome contributions from all solid-earth fields such as geodesy, geodynamics, mineral physics, seismology, petrology, geochemistry, and geology that integrate or compare laboratory and field-based constraints with geophysical observations to quantify mantle properties and processes.

Conveners:

William Shinevar, UC Boulder (Primary Convener)
Joshua B Russell, Brown
Chhavi Jain, Washington University in St Louis
Hatsuki Yamauchi, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia
Manuel Pimenta Silva, ETH Zurich (Early Career Convener)

Additional information can be found in: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/161271

The deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, 3 August 2022 at 23:59 EDT.

Hope to see you there!
