Call for abstract: AGU 2025 Session DI014: The Fate of Terrestrial Planetary Cores: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Structure, Dynamics, and Evolution

[Guanning Pang]

Dear Colleagues:

(With apologies for cross-posting )

We encourage you to submit an abstract to Study of Earth's Deep Interior session DI014: The Fate of Terrestrial Planetary Cores: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Structure, Dynamics, and Evolution (https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prelim.cgi/Session/247751).

Session Description

Buried at the heart of planets, core is its least understood region as our knowledge relies on undirect observations (seismic, geomagnetic, geochemistry). It is characterized by extreme conditions and complex chemistry and dynamics. However, understanding the structure, composition, material properties, dynamical processes, and evolution of the core is crucial for insights into planet formation, geomagnetic field generation, habitability, and more. By integrating seismic imaging, improved spatial and temporal constraints on core dynamo models, laboratory experiments examining material properties under extreme conditions or fluid dynamics, and simulation of complex conditions and dynamics, we continue to gain increasingly comprehensive knowledge of planetary cores.This session invites contributions that investigate the structure, compositions, dynamics, and evolution of Earth’s and other terrestrial planetary cores. We encourage abstract presenting advancements from observational, theoretical, and experimental studies spanning diverse disciplines including, but not limited to, seismology, mineral physics, geochemistry, paleo- and geomagnetism, gravity, geodynamics, and fluid dynamics.

Invited Speaker:

Yang Sun (Xiamen University)

Krista Soderlund (UT Austin)

The AGU Fall Meeting 2025 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, from December 15-19.

The abstract submission deadline is July 30, 2025, 23:59 ET/03:59 UTC.

We are looking forward to your participation.

On behalf of the conveners:

Guanning Pang, Wei Wang, Ludovic Huguet, Lowell Miyagi, and Ruoyan Wang
