DI13B:
Slabs in Earth's Mantle: Where Do They Go and How Do They Interact with the Mantle? I Posters


Session ID#: 10241

Session Description:
Subduction of oceanic lithosphere has recycled vast amounts of material between the Earth’s mantle, crust, and atmosphere over geologic time. Styles of subduction vary widely across the Earth, with potential consequences for various modes and fluxes of geochemical cycling. New views on what controls slab dynamics are leading to better understanding, for example, under what conditions slabs reach the core-mantle boundary or instead stagnate in the transition zone or shallow lower mantle. Fluxes and the depth to which slabs carry volatiles, especially carbon and hydrogen, will depend on subduction style, pressure-temperature phase stability, and melt generation. In this session we hope to communicate ideas across SEDI research such as imaging of slab geometry and seismicity, geodynamic modelling of slab dynamics, and mineral physics and geochemical experiments or computations collectively aimed at understanding the physics and chemistry of slabs in the Earth’s mantle.
