Advanced Experimental, Computational and Analytical Approaches in Exploring Deep Planetary Interiors.
Session ID#: 158262
Session Description:
Great scientific discoveries in mineral and rock physics have traditionally followed in the aftermath of experimental and theoretical breakthroughs. Studying the physical and chemical properties of planet-forming minerals at extreme pressure and temperature conditions provides invaluable information for modeling the planetary interiors’ structure and evolution, as well as an insight on geological processes that remain conundrums. Developments in the state-of-the-art static and dynamic experimental methods elucidate fundamental properties (e.g. structure, thermodynamics, kinetics, elasticity, phase relations, etc.) of geo-materials and extend this research to previously inaccessible regions. Pioneer theoretical computations in combination with high quality data and advanced analytical methods allow for the full assessment of countless plausible scenarios that describe micro- and macroscopic processes in various time scales. This session welcomes all contributions that will highlight innovative experimental, computational and analytical techniques that address a wide range of physical and chemical properties in minerals and rocks, and enhance our understanding of the evolution, structure and dynamics of the Earth’s interior and other planetary bodies.
