| Description: | A broad range of exciting discoveries are transforming our understanding of the Earth’s deep mantle. Examples include the mapping of two large-scale compositional anomalies in the lower mantle, ultra-low velocity zones near the core-mantle boundary, post-perovskite phase transformation, core-mantle chemical interactions, iron spin transitions, and deep mantle discontinuities and anisotropy. This SEDI session will provide a multidisciplinary forum for papers addressing key aspects of new discoveries in the lower mantle, including new observations, methodological advances, hypotheses, interpretations, and implications. We solicit contributions from seismology, geodynamics, mineral physics, geochemistry, and other relevant fields. |
