1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Lily Thompson <ecthomps@xxxxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We would like to encourage your participation in our AGU Fall Meeting session, which is focused on elasticity in planetary interiors (details below): *Title:* Elasticity: Connecting the Properties of Minerals to Planetary Models *Section:* Mineral and Rock Physics (MRP) *Session ID:* 105894 *Abstract:* In order to understand the structure and composition of the Earth and its moon, we rely on our understanding of the elastic properties of potential constituent materials to inform interpretations of seismic velocities and geodynamical models. More recently, elastic constraints have also become invaluable in our efforts to better understand the structure and composition of Mars. This session aims to bring together computational and experimental researchers who determine the elastic properties of geological materials and melts with the researchers who employ these constraints to interpret tomographic models and those who develop novel geodynamical models of planetary bodies. *Invited Speakers:* Grace Shephard, University of Oslo Zhongqing Wu, University of Science and Technology of China *Conveners:* Elizabeth Thompson, Sewanee: The University of the South Renata Wentzcovitch, Columbia University Jung-Fu Lin, University of Texas at Austin Han Hsu, National Central University of Taiwan The AGU abstract portal is already open and the *deadline for submissions is Wednesday, 29 July*. In light of current health concerns, the AGU Fall Meeting 2020 will be mostly virtual. Featured meeting content will be held during the original 7-11 December dates, with additional content scheduled to best meet the needs of our international attendees around the world. In light of these changes, AGU will be charging a significantly reduced registration fee.
