Earth Rotation Session at AGU 2017


Dear Colleagues -

As part of the 2017 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in New
Orleans, Louisiana during 11-15 December 2017 there will be a session on
"Earth and Planetary Rotation: From Core to Crust". The description of
the session is given below. On behalf if the conveners I would like to
draw your attention to this session and encourage you to participate in
it. More information about the 2017 Fall Meeting can be obtained from
its web site at <http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2017>.

Please note that abstracts must be submitted to AGU by August 2, 2017.
Submitting by July 26, 2017 gives you a chance to win a $100 gift card!

Hope to see you in New Orleans!

Best regards,
Richard


Session ID# 22871: Earth and Planetary Rotation: From Core to Crust

The Earth's rotation changes on a wide range of time scales, reflecting
the wide range of processes affecting it, from external tidal forces to
surficial processes involving the atmosphere, oceans, and hydrosphere to
internal processes acting both at the core-mantle boundary as well as
within the solid Earth itself. In addition, the periods of the
resonances in the Earth's rotation depend upon the internal structure
and constitution of the Earth. Observations of the Earth's rotation can
therefore be used to place constraints on a wide range of dynamical
processes of the solid Earth, including glacial isostatic adjustment,
mantle anelasticity, core-mantle coupling, core flattening, core angular
momentum, torsional oscillations of the core, and the strength of the
magnetic field at the inner core and core-mantle boundaries. This
session is a forum for discussing the use of rotation measurements to
constrain the structure and dynamical processes of the Earth and other
planets.
