A Joint Seismic and Geodynamic Study of Three-Dimensional Earth Structure and Thermal Convection in Earth's Mantle |

| mf.subject.keywords |
This course will provide an introduction to a the fundamental physical and mathematical
principles required to understand the very long time scale transport of mass and heat in
Earth's mantle. This basic introduction to thermal convection dynamics will be employed
to interpret the latest seismic tomographic reconstructions of global three-dimensional (3-
D) Earth structure. We will study the present-day dynamics of the mantle by directly
using these global tomography models to determine the 3-D mantle convective flow and
the effect of this flow on surface geophysical processes, such as the global gravity field,
the plate tectonic motions, and the global variations in continental elevation and oceanic
bathymetry. We will also consider how these tomography-based mantle convection
models may be used to study the time dependent evolution of the mantle in the geological
past and the implications for the time-dependent surface topography, gravity and Earth
rotation variations.
Student participation in this course will be evaluated with a number of practical problem
assignments which will test their understanding of the basic principles of mass and heat
transfer. These problems will also include a calculation of three-dimensional mantle flow. |
