| Scope |
The Earth's core
remains arguably the most enigmatic and problematic region of the
deep Earth's interior. Recent studies in computation, simulation,
experimentation, and seismic propagation have led to new discoveries
and theories on the composition, structure, dynamics, and evolution
of Earth's core, as well as the cores of other planetary bodies such
as the Moon and Mars. We now must bring together these new data and
theories from disparate fields and integrate them toward advancing
our understanding of planetary cores. This session provides a
multidisciplinary forum to discuss recent research advances and
exchange new ideas about future directions of core study. We welcome
contributions on the inner and outer cores of the Earth, as well as
the cores of other planetary bodies, from a broad variety of
disciplines, including experimental and computational mineral
physics, seismology, geodynamics, geo/cosmochemistry, and any other
relevant fields that can contribute to this discussion. |
