Mantle convection, core dynamics, and the geodynamo are fundamental processes governing the long-term evolution of Earth and other terrestrial planets. Advances in observational techniques and numerical modelling now allow these Earth processes to be investigated across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This session will provide a holistic view of the influence of mantle convection and core dynamics and their surface expressions from geodetic to geological time scales using multi-disciplinary methods, including (but not limited to): geodetic, geophysical, geological, long-term evolution of the geomagnetic field, Earth's core dynamics, mineral physics, magnetism and the seismic imaging of mantle convective processes, as well as numerical modelling.
Our session will provide rich opportunities for presenters and attendees from a range of disciplines, demographics, and stages of their scientific career to engage in this exciting and multidisciplinary problem in Earth science.
