Preface for article collection “geophysical properties and transport processes in the deep crust and mantle”
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This special volume (SPEPS, Special call for excellent papers on hot topics) is comprised of papers that were for the most part presented at Session S-IT18 during JPGU 2022 held in Makuhari, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, from May 22 to May 27, 2022.The papers in this SPEPS volume, which reflects the original JPGU session in May 2022, address properties and processes that govern the geochemistry and geophysics in the Earth's interior.The contributions focus on mass and energy transport properties of fluids and magma because these materials are principal agents of mass and energy transport processes throughout the silicate Earth.The transport processes are imaged globally and locally by geophysical observations such as seismic tomography and electrical conductivity profiles.The transport phenomena discussed in this volume include physical and chemical properties and processes of fluids and magmas as these affect near-surface seismicity and geochemistry in subduction zones as well as geophysical imaging and geochemical modeling of various scales from locally to globally derived from experimental and numerical results.Magma sources in the deep crust and mantle and transport to or near the surface are also imaged by geophysical tools.The papers in book address those phenomena by reporting results of laboratory experiments, numerical
