Dear Colleague
we draw your attention to a new European Geosciences Union (EGU) session in Vienna (17-22 April, 2016) : "Integrating multi-scale measurements and images of the physical properties of the Earth from laboratory experiments to the Deep Earthâ.
Solicited presenters:
Nicola Tisato, Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin: Bubbles attenuate elastic waves at seismic frequencies: First experimental evidence
Tiziana Vanorio, Stanford Rock Physics Laboratory, Geophysics Department, Stanford University: Fiber-Reinforced Rocks Akin to Roman Concrete Help Explain Ground Deformation at Campi Flegrei Caldera
The session has been organised starting this year to answer to the need of better integration between Earth Magnetism & Rock Physics, Seismology, and Geoscience and Instrumentation and Data Systems, trying to answer a single question: where are we today in multi scaling of data, methodologies, and results in different Earth disciplines and settings? We aim at creating an interdisciplinary session in Vienna where authors are able to showcase from new laboratory results that have provided a greater insight into wide-scale Earth dynamics and structures to new data, experimental systems, and methodologies applied to field scale that hold promise of changing our way of processing data in the lab and understanding physical phenomena.
Looking forward to see you in Vienna next year.
Best Wishes
Luca De Siena, Phillip Benson, David Healy, Laura Spina

Integrating multi-scale measurements and images of the physical properties of the Earth from laboratory experiments to the Deep Earth (co-organized)
Convener: Luca De Siena
Co-Conveners: David Healy, Philip Benson, Laura Spina
Upscaling results obtained in field experiments to crustal/Deep Earth-scales or downscaling the application of geophysical techniques to a laboratory remains an ongoing challenge in the Earth Sciences. Rock physics experiments and numerical models can provide great insight to larger scale phenomena using, for example, direct forward model techniques or well-constrained experiments will known conditions. Such an approach has the great benefit in that added value naturally arises when scientists from different disciplines transfer, and verify, new theories and techniques using laboratory rock physics as a tool.
The aim of this session is to bring together scientists working in different disciplines and who have either used Rock Physics and laboratory/field experiments to model large-scale Earth phenomena. Conversely, we welcome contributions that seek to transfer to laboratory scale theory and techniques used in larger Earth environments. We are particularly interested in:
1) Applications of large-scale geophysical imaging techniques that have been transferred to lab scale,
2) Designs of geophysical experiments that have been planned on the base of field experiments,
3) The contribution of laboratory experiments to the understanding of large-scale geological features in volcanic/ crustal / Deep Earth environments,
4) New attempt and techniques related to upscaling rock-physics results to reproduce large scale geophysical phenomena
5) Novel contributions where laboratory experiments validate Earth-related theories or unveil new physical phenomena at different scales.
