Symposium JSS05 Physics and Chemistry of Earth Materials
IUGG General Assembly Sapporo Japan (June 30-July11)
Abstract deadline for electronic submission: 30 January 2003

Scope: Insight into the physical and chemical behaviour of Earth materials
is essential for the interpretation of seismological, geochemical, geodynamic,
and geomagnetic observations. Recent advances in high-pressure techniques provide
direct access to the conditions of the Earth's lower mantle and core. Complementary
theoretical studies predict behaviour of
materials under extreme conditions difficult to realise in laboratory experiments.
The structure and behaviour of mineral surfaces and crystal defects, as well
as the bulk properties of crystalline and molten materials, are increasingly
amenable to investigation. These developments in materials science promise a
better understanding of the Earth's interior - from crust to core. Papers on
all aspects of the physics and chemistry of Earth materials are invited.
