Dear mineralogists and beyond,
Presenting at the AGU 2024
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 “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!
