V33C:
Heterogeneity in the Earth's Interior: The Ongoing Processes of Differentiation II Posters


Session ID#: 10936

Session Description:
Earth’s interior is compositionally heterogeneous owing to differentiation processes from early in Earth’s history and through the on-going recycling of lithosphere by modern plate tectonics.  The nature and distribution of these heterogeneities have implications for the convective vigor of Earth’s mantle, its rhealogical structure, processes of magma generation, and the volatile inventory of the whole Earth system.  This session aims for a multi-disciplinary exploration of the nature and fate of mantle heterogeneities in a convective regime , role of heterogeneties in the melting process across tectonic settings, residence times for chemical heterogeneities in the mantle, and the evidence for primordial reservoirs in the deep Earth.  We encourage contributions from all fields including field observations, analytical geochemistry, experimental geophysics and petrology, and numerical modeling.
