6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 From: Sarah Lambart <sarah.lambart@xxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues and Friends, We invite everyone interested in the properties of the lithospheric mantle and its link with the asthenosphere to submit an abstract in our *session 03f: "The Lithospheric Mantle as Earthâ??s Link between Surface and Deep Processes"*. We would love to get a mix of experimental works, geochemical and geophysical models and studies of natural samples. We are also very happy to announce that the keynote speaker for this session is *Sylvie Demouchy* (University of Montpellier, CNRS) and that we have two invited speakers: *Cailey Condit * (University of Washington) and *Allessio Sanfilippo* (University of Pavia). The detailed description of the session is below. The abstract submission deadline is February 14th. See you in Hawai'i! The conveners: Sarah Lambart (University of Utah) Jessica Warren (University of Delaware) Othmar Müntener (Lausanne University) *session description*: Lithospheric plates are the critical link between Earthâ??s surface and interior processes. Key questions are about the formation of the vertical boundaries that define plate edges, and the base of the plate, where the lithosphere-asthenosphere transition occurs. Solving these questions is critical for an advanced understanding of the secular evolution of the Earth system. We welcome contributions from petrology, geochemistry, microstructure analysis, geophysics, and geodynamic modeling that help to build a unified view on the dynamic evolution of the lithosphere. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the scale and distribution of heterogeneities in the lithospheric mantle, properties of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, rifting initiation, and lithosphere recycling and its dynamic implications. 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
