1. High-Pressure Mineral Physics and Geophysics Applications
EVENTS
Workshop on High-Pressure Mineral Physics and Geophysics Applications
February 2 – 7, 2026, São Paulo, Brazil
Multidisciplinary discussion between mineral physics, seismology, and geodynamics
Materials simulations bring powerful methods for predicting the physical properties of complex mineral phases, assemblages, and melts under the extreme conditions expected in Earth’s interior (~6,500 K and 3.6 Mbar). They play a central role in probing the deep Earth and have brought us to the threshold of developing a general predictive theory of planetary interiors grounded in their material properties.
This workshop advances this vision by bringing together a multidisciplinary team of scientists to discuss the integration between three core fields of computational geophysics: mineral physics, seismology, and geodynamics.
