 Nov 2010  Equations of state, melting curves, compositional gradients  Project still broadly defined in terms of interdisciplinary aspect MP meeting (Ann Arbor)/2010 Fall AGU

MP meeting (Ann Arbor, Nov 2011)  Parameter space for “snowing” using seismic, experimental, and theoretical constraints  Snowing – Fe-S, Fe-C?, Fe-Si?  No snow – Pure Fe, Fe- H, likely Fe-C and Fe-Si  Relationship between melting curve and adiabat  Can solid/liquid fraction account for Vp gradient? Top of F-layer

Geodynamics  Evolution of thermal, compositonal, and structural profiles with time  Stability of F-layer  Origin of stratified layer

Comments and Suggestions  Defined leadership role  Positives  Easy exchange among different disciplines at CIDER  Helpful interaction within MP sub-group  Collaboration that otherwise would not have occurred  Negatives  Difficulty following up with interdisciplinary communication  Short (~3-5 day) semi-annual workshops for established groups  Difficulty generating a concrete product  Viewed as a “side-project”
