Course Description

Overview

Explore cutting-edge research on Earth's deep interior in this 2-hour AGU conference session. Delve into the synergy between seismology, geodynamics, and mineral physics, uncovering new insights about our planet's remote regions. Learn about advanced imaging techniques like adjoint tomography and tidal tomography, which provide sharper images of mantle plumes and constraints on deep mantle buoyancy. Discover how geodynamics incorporates pressure and temperature-dependent mineral properties, including spin transition effects, and their impact on mantle dynamics and evolution. Examine recent mineral physics discoveries, such as hydrous phases stable at core-mantle boundary pressures and novel magnesium-free, iron-rich perovskites. Investigate refined predictions of spin transition effects on seismic observables and melting phase relations in mantle silicates and core iron alloys. Join renowned experts as they present emergent views of Earth's deep interior, challenging long-held notions and integrating the latest advancements in the field.
