------------------------------------------------------------------ From hfh@emil.uni-geophys.gwdg.de Wed Feb 5 16:33:49 1997 Date: Wed, 5 Feb 1997 16:26:57 GMT From: hfh@emil.uni-geophys.gwdg.de (Helmut Harder) To: miker@gfz-potsdam.de Dear colleague, this is the second announcement of the 6th European Workshop on the Numerical Modeling of Mantle Convection and Lithospheric Dynamics to be held in Naurod (Germany), August, 14-16, 1997. This continues a series of workshops which have been held in Europe biannually since 1987. The aim is to provide a forum of discussion for all aspects of numerical modeling (including technical and conceptual aspects, visualisation, parallel computing, and the 'philosophy' of modeling) in the field of mantle and lithospheric dynamics. Following general topics will be covered by the workshop: Rheology and mechanics of the lithosphere All aspects of mantle/lithosphere interaction Dynamics of the Earth in relation to material properties Plumes and melt generation Convection and lithospheric dynamics on other terrestrial planets Numerical methods (Multigrid, parallel computing, benchmarks, ...) In addition to the normal sessions we will organize a topical discussion session (approx. 2 hours) on each day of the workshop. Suggested topics are: 25 years of numerical convection models: what have we learned about the Earth ? (Did we just play computer games, or do convection models make direct, quantitative, and testable predictions about geological, geophysical and geochemical observables?) Is the two-layer model of mantle convection dead ? (Today, geochemists are the staunchest defenders of the two-layer convection model in the sense of strongly reduced radial mass flux between upper and lower mantle, but given the increasing seismological evidence for slabs in the lower mantle and the failure to find a convincing mechanism for strict layering, few geodynamists believe in it. Is a 30-year old debate close to being settled?) How to integrate plates in convection models ? (Convection is a fluid-dynamical concept, whereas plates are not. The failure to produce plates in a natural and self-consistent way is the main deficit of the existing convection models. Do we know the essential ingredients to make plates and how we can technically unify the different concepts?) We plan to have three invited talks from neighbouring disciplines relevant to geodynamic modelling: S. Karato (Minneapolis) : Rheology of the lithosphere R. van der Hilst (MIT) : Seismic tomography R. Boehler (Mainz) : High pressure mineral physics ------------------------------------------------------------------ From hfh@emil.uni-geophys.gwdg.de Fri Aug 22 10:41:30 1997 Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 11:32:14 +0200 From: hfh@emil.uni-geophys.gwdg.de (Helmut Harder) To: miker@gfz-potsdam.de Dear colleagues, I hope you had an enjoyable meeting in Naurod.
