AGU24 session: V018. Origin, Distribution, and Transport of Volatiles in Earth and Terrestrial Planets
by Mallick, Ekanshu 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Dear Colleagues, We invite you to submit an abstract to our session, V018: Origin, Distribution, and Transport of Volatiles in Earth and Terrestrial Planets in the section Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology. The link to our session: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Sess… Please consider submitting an abstract by the July 31st deadline. Session Description: Volatile elements (C, H, N, S, and noble gases) are crucial for planetary habitability, shaping long-term chemical and dynamic evolution. Despite significant strides in understanding volatile budgets and effects on rheological and thermodynamic properties of mantle materials, uncertainties persist regarding their origin, distribution, and transport in Earth and other terrestrial planets. This session invites contributions to deepen insights into volatile compositions, exchange fluxes between surface and interior reservoirs through geologic time, and their influence on mantle dynamics and surface processes. Welcoming diverse perspectives from geochemistry, cosmochemistry, geophysics, planetary science, experimental petrology, and theoretical modeling, this session fosters inclusivity and invites submissions from early-career scientists and underrepresented communities. Through the exploration of these fundamental questions, our objective is to expand our comprehension of volatile dynamics within Earth and planetary interiors, thus enhancing our understanding of planetary evolution and habitability. Best regards, Conveners: Lucia Bellino (University of Texas at Austin), Ananya Mallik (University of Arizona), Ekanshu Mallick (Tulane University of Louisiana), Anna M. Rebaza (University of Arizona)

17 Jul '24

Dear colleagues, Please consider to submit your abstract to this AGU session. Abstract Submission Deadline: The session viewer and abstract submission system is open. The AGU24 abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 31 July at 11:59 PM EDT. Late abstract submissions cannot be accepted. DI006 - Exploring interiors of super-Earths and other exoplanets with observations, experiments, and simulations Submit an Abstract to this Session <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/di/papers/index… > The discovery of thousands of extrasolar planets around other stars in the galaxy provides new opportunities to explore planetary interiors beyond the compositional constraints based on our solar system. It also challenges us to expand experimental measurements and theoretical simulations to extreme conditions. Significant advances in static and dynamic compression methods and predictive power by first-principles simulations and machine learning have been made, which can play a critical role in understanding the internal structures and processes of super-Earths and other exoplanets. This session welcomes contributions from researchers spanning experiment and theory that address the properties of planetary materials under extreme conditions and the application of these results to build next-generation models of the formation, interior structure, dynamics, and thermal evolution of super-Earths and other exoplanets.

AGU 2024 MR002 A Journey Into Planetary Interiors: How the Properties and Interactions of Planetary Materials Drive Dynamical Processes and Shape Planets and Moons
by Francesca Miozzi 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

[Apologies for cross posting] Dear mineralogists and beyond, Presenting at the AGU 2024 <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Home… > 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://urldefense.us/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Sess… >“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! *MR002 Conveners* *Olivia Pardo, Francesca Miozzi, Ian Szumila, Mohit Melwani Daswani, and Diogo José Louro Lourenço* -------------- Dr. Francesca Miozzi | Postdoctoral Fellow Earth and Planets Laboratory Carnegie Institution for Science 5241 Broad Branch Road NW Washington D.C. 20015 fmiozzi(a)carnegiescience.edu | P: 202-478-8938

[Sees_users] APS commissioning and 2024-3 run cycle
by Mark Rivers 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

Dear SEES Users, As you have likely heard, the Advanced Photon Source (APS) has been upgraded to a multi-bend achromat source and the APS physics team is currently commissioning the new storage ring. They are making excellent progress and have stored up to 60 mA. You can read more about the APS Upgrade (APS-U) here: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.aps.anl.gov/APS-Upgrade__;!!G_uCfscf… <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/www.aps.anl.gov/APS-Upgrade__;!!G_uCfscf7…>. You can see the recent ring current history here: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www3.aps.anl.gov/aod/blops/status/srStat… . The APS plans to begin shielding verification and commissioning of beamlines in the coming weeks, and they expect this process to extend over a period of several months. Current projections are that most of the SEES beamlines will engage in various stages of commissioning activities across the summer and into the fall. You will likely receive a notification from APS soon about the call for general user proposals for the 2024-3 run cycle. Many SEES beamlines at the APS will participate in this call, though the timeline for the transition from commissioning to user experiments will vary by beamline and will remain fluid due to uncertainties in the APS shielding verification schedule, as well as a few outstanding optical component deliveries. Based on current projections, we anticipate that the 13-BM beamlines will support user experiments for most of the 2024-3 cycle (late September through mid-December), that 13-ID will do so for a few weeks at the end of the cycle (in December). SEES programs at Sectors 3, 6 and 30 will resume at a later date. The APS hopes to be running at 100 mA in the 2024-3 run, but the actual current may be less. If you are interested in participating in experiments at the SEES APS beamlines during 2024-3, we encourage you to contact the beamline scientists for the stations you're interested in using for clarity regarding what will be feasible. You may submit a proposal through the new Universal Proposal System at https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://ups.servicenowservices.com/ups__;!!G_uCf… <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/ups.servicenowservices.com/ups__;!!G_uCfs…> after the call is announced. The timeline for startup and commissioning activities is still fluid, so we’ll be scheduling any 2024-3 experiments a few weeks in advance as we determine when the various techniques and stations will come online. Best regards, Mark Rivers Chief Technology Officer, SEES

Dear all, Please see below for details about an event on Monday, June 24, that may be of interest to you. Best, Fahad Fahad Sajid, PhD Executive Administrator, Synchrotron Earth and Environmental Science (SEES) The University of Chicago Dear Colleagues, Our next high-pressure interest group meeting will be held 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm (US central time), Monday, June 24, 2024. In this meeting, Dr. Clemens Prescher, Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, will present “Dioptas 0.6.0: a visualization and integration software for high data rates at XRD beamlines”.

Since its initial release a decade ago, Dioptas has become one of the most widely used programs for 2D XRD data processing at high-pressure synchrotron beamlines. Initially designed for rapid data exploration during beamtime, Dioptas allowed researchers to focus more on experimental interpretation and results. However, early versions were suited for data collection rates of approximately one diffraction pattern per second. With the advent of fourth-generation synchrotron facilities and X-ray free-electron lasers, data acquisition rates have significantly increased, necessitating enhanced software capabilities. In collaboration with DESY, we have developed a new batch mode in Dioptas, enabling efficient visualization and exploration of large datasets. Additionally, the latest release includes a preliminary implementation of a map mode, similar to the features included in XDI a widely used software written by Ross Hrubiak, with the added advantage of visualizing different phase lines and overlays. I would also like to take this opportunity to initiate a discussion of the community's needs for future development directions. Here is a link to tutorial data : https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/0ixqzq9q988zhvebi… Dioptas 0.6.0: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/Dioptas/Dioptas/releases__;!!… Looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting!
