Dear All,
It may be a little bit early to announce AGU sessions. However, we
would like to call your attention to our session: MR07. This session
was proposed to overview our current knowledge and interpretation of
crystallographic fabrics. At last year's AGU meeting, there were many
contributions on crystallographic textures in various
sessions. We decided that it would be productive to put together a
session
focused specifically on this topic. We would like to bring together
research on crystallographic fabric and anisotropy relevant to any
region
in the Earth from the crust to the deep interior. We welcome
contributions on a wide range of minerals, their crystallographic
anisotropies and role in the Earth. Please see the session description
below.
We are look forward to seeing you at our session.
Yours sincerely,
Katsu Michibayashi, and
Lowell Miyagi

Description:
The last 10 years has seen major advances and widespread access to
laboratory based texture measuring devices, such as the SEM/
EBSD technique, and national facilities with high penetration X-ray
diffraction using synchrotron sources, has dramatically expanded our
knowledge of crystallographic fabrics. Using natural samples,
numerical simulations and experiments over wide range of pressure and
temperature conditions fabrics of minerals in the crust, mantle and
core have been investigated. The fabrics are not only key tools to
infer the rheology of the deep Earth’s interior, but they are
also the link between the seismic record and today’s internal
structure. Thus, the goal of this session is to bring together
researchers from many disciplines to present research on
crystallographic fabrics of various minerals in the crust, mantle and
core. By forming a broad view of fabric development from the crust to
the core, we hope to foster new discussion and prompt new directions
for the decrypting the present-day and past dynamics and structure of
the Earth’s interior.
