Dear All
We invite you to share your research in geodynamics with the seismological community at the 2025 Seismological Society of America Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland by submitting an abstract to our session:
Geodynamics at the Intersection of Geophysical Observations
Geophysical probing of the Earth has revealed astounding detail of its internal structure through images of seismic wave speeds, resistivity, and density. Yet more fundamental petrophysical and thermomechanical properties, such as composition, temperature, viscosity, as well as the presence and distribution of fluids and melt, remain elusive and often must instead be inferred from geophysical images based on laboratory relationships or numerical modeling combined with other constraining geophysical observations. These inferences are critical for initializing and further evaluating geodynamic models that explore a wide-range of dynamic processes operating in Earth’s past, present and future.
This session seeks to increase the exchange between the observational, laboratory, and modeling communities to better understand data and model uses and limitations. Contributions that explore applications and interpretation of geophysical or laboratory data in combination with computational models to increase our understanding of Earth dynamics, model uncertainty and data resolution, and software tools to facilitate model and data integration are welcome. This includes, but is not limited to: (1) geodynamic modeling including core-mantle interactions, mantle convection, mantle plumes, subduction zones, and rifting; (2) deformation modeling associated with GIA, solid Earth tides, and post-seismic deformation; and (3) dynamics of the crust including fault, geothermal, and volcanic systems.
Abstract submission deadline is January 8, 2025.
Thanks and Happy New Year,
