Dear Colleagues,
Please submit your work to this session, and encourage your colleagues, post-docs and grad students to contribute.
Theory of Earth
Session ID#: 3924
Session Description:
Over
the last 50 years, our understanding of the interior of Earth has
advanced tremendously, yielding theories for its origin, evolution,
internal structure, composition, and dynamics. Most powerful are
interdisciplinary approaches that include physics, geophysics,
energetics, thermodynamics, geochemistry, petrology, mineralogy, mantle
dynamics, and volcanology. Nevertheless, persistent enigmas and
paradoxes testify that major challenges still remain. We invite
contributions that focus on interdisciplinary work to reveal the
structure and dynamics of the interior of Earth, and links to surface
manifestations. Observational, experimental and theoretical studies,
along with historical reviews, are encouraged. We welcome in particular
contributions that are provocative, radical, Devil’s Advocate, even
outrageous, and have the potential to significantly advance our current
understanding.
