Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to the following session at the next AGU Fall meeting:
Title: Dynamic Evolution of the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary System in Diverse Geological Settings: an Integrated Approach
Abstract: Geophysical
observations of the lithosphere and asthenosphere
under oceanic and continental plates reveal seismic and electrical
anomalies that image present-day lithospheric discontinuities as well as
the interface between tectonic plates and the underlying convecting
mantle. Interpreting these geophysical data from
different geological contexts in terms of temporal evolution of the
plate/mantle system is a multi-disciplinary effort that aims to
reconcile field observations, laboratory experiments, and mantle flow
predictions from numerical models. We solicit contributions
that improve the understanding and integration of the physical and
chemical processes at work as part of the time-evolution of the
plate/mantle system, including investigations of long-term rheology of
deformed mantle fabrics, of fluid distribution using geophysical
observations, as well as thermal and viscosity constraints from dynamic
modeling.
