[Sees_users] EGU 2024 session on Earth's and planetary cores
by Sébastien Merkel 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, the EGU abstracts submission is now open, in the last few years we have run the session /Earth's and planetary cores: structure, dynamics and evolution/ with great success. We would greatly appreciate your contribution for the EGU 2024. The abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 10 January 2024, 13:00 CET. *EGU session: GD8.1/EMRP2.8/PS5.4 <https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessionprogramme/5233#>* Understanding the structures and dynamics of the core of a planet is essential to constructing a global geochemical and geodynamical model, and has implication on the planet's thermal, compositional and orbital evolution. Remote sensing of planetary interiors from space and ground based observations is entering a new era with perspectives in constraining their core structures and dynamics. Meanwhile, increasingly accurate seismic data provide unprecedented images of the Earth's deep interior. Unraveling planetary cores' structures and dynamics requires a synergy between many fields of expertise, such as mineral physics, geochemistry, seismology, fluid mechanics or geomagnetism. This session welcomes contributions from all the aforementioned disciplines following theoretical, numerical, observational or experimental approaches. Best, Jerome Noir, Sebastien Merkel, Daria Holdenried-Chernoff and Jessica Irving. -- Sébastien Merkel Université de Lille, France http://merkel.texture.rocks/

Dear all, Thanks to everyone who attended today’s first SEES Webinar. For those who were unable to attend or who wish to relive it, a recording of the webinar will be available soon; instructions to access the recording will follow on this email list and on the SEES website <https://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/sees/>. As described in the webinar, nominations are needed for users to stand for election to the SEES User Group Executive Committee. The SEES User Group Executive Committee will serve as the voice of the SEES users, and have representation on the SEES Executive Committee for all major SEES planning. Please consider nominating yourself or a colleague to this role. Nominations can be made here <https://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/sees/user_community-ec_nominations/> on the SEES website. Additionally, we also welcome feedback on the provisional SEES User Group bylaws <https://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/sees/user_community-bylaws/> This is especially important as the organization is in the early stages of rolling out. These bylaws outline the role of the User Group and the structure with which it operates. Thank you for your input. SEES will continue to offer webinars in the future, as we roll out new programs to support the synchrotron-using geoscientist community. Sincerely, Andy Campbell SEES Director
