Dear colleagues,
abstract submission deadline for EGU 2020 in Vienna is
fast approaching. We would like to draw your attention to our
multidisciplinary EGU session Early
Earth: Dynamics, Geology, Chemistry and Life in the Archean
Earth (GD1.1/AS4/CL1/GMPV3/TS14) and hope to see you
at the EGU General Assembly (3.-8. May 2020).
Please note that the **deadline for abstract submission** is ** 15.
January 2020****, 13:00 CET.** We look forward to seeing you in Vienna.
Kind regards,
Ria Fischer

**Session GD1.1/****AS4/CL1/GMPV3/TS14
** ** “Early Earth: Dynamics, Geology, Chemistry and Life in the
Archean Earth”** Processes responsible for formation and development of the early
Earth (> 2500Ma) are not
well understood and strongly debated, reflecting in part the poorly
preserved, altered, and
incomplete nature of the geological record from this time.
In this session we encourage the presentation of new approaches and
models for the development of Earth’s early crust and mantle and
their methods of interaction. We encourage contributions from the
study of the preserved rock archive as well as geodynamic models of
crustal and mantle dynamics so as to better understand the genesis
and evolution of continental crust and the stabilization of cratons.
We invite abstracts from a large range of disciplines including
geodynamics, geology, geochemistry, and petrology but also studies
of early atmosphere, biosphere and early life relevant to this
period of Earth history.
