Name Shun-ichiro Karato Affiliation Yale University, Department of Geology and Geophysics Email Shun-ichiro.karato@yale.edu Co-convener 2. Name Katsuyoshi Michibayashi Affiliation Institute of Geosciences, Shizuoka University Email michibayashi.katsuyoshi@shizuoka.ac.jp International Symposium 'International Symposium' in addition to Scientific session. Language English Scope Recently, rheological properties of minerals, which form the interior of the Earth, have been understood. We need to revisit the dynamics of the Earth based on recent results, and we seek to formulate future directions of the study of rheology. We welcome contributions on rheological properties (i.e., ductile/semi-brittle/plastic flow, seismic anisotropy and attenuation, and so on) of the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and core of the Earth, from a broad variety of disciplines including mineral and rock physics, geology, geodynamics and any other relevant fields. Topics related to transportation properties of materials in the interior of the Earth are also welcomed. Type of presentation Oral and Poster presentation Invited papers Lars N.
