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
