Reconstructing Earth’s mantle convection (AUGURY)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
"Knowledge of the state of the Earth mantle and its temporal evolution is fundamental to a variety of disciplines in Earth Sciences, from the internal dynamics to its many expressions in the geological record (postglacial rebound, sea level change, ore deposit, tectonics or geomagnetic reversals). Mantle convection theory is the centerpiece to unravel the present and past state of the mantle. For ...

Integrated geodynamics: Reconciling geophysics and geochemistry (iGEO)
Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,
How are deep mantle processes related to the mapped geological record? How can we reconcile geochemical observations with geophysical inferences? These are first order unanswered questions despite our steady progress in imaging the Earth's internal structure and understanding the high temperature and pressure properties of minerals. To make a breakthrough, we have to understand solid-state convect ...

Dynamics and Structure of the Earth’s Mantle: a multidisciplinary approach (DYSTEM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
"We propose a multidisciplinary approach involving mineral physics, geophysics and geodynamics to study the evolution and the current physical conditions of the Earth’s mantle. Starting from a mineral physics database, we will jointly invert long-period seismic waveforms and gravity data to infer 3-D thermal and compositional structure of the Earth’s mantle. The thermodynamic database used for the ...
