Presentation Transcript

  1. A new look at lower mantle structure through cluster analysis VedLekic CIDER post-AGU workshop 2011

  2. Motivation • What is the composition of the bulk silicate Earth (BSE)? • Can an Earth made of Enstatite Chondrites satisfy seismological constraints? • Can we develop a reference seismological model for more realistic mineralogical interpretations?

  3. Vs Profiles of 2 Clusters

  4. Ingredients for CIDER success • Setting: has to be an environment that fosters intellectual and social interaction • A physical space after hours  common rooms! • Common lodging for all junior participants • Interaction between senior and junior participants during the workshop, meals and time off facilitates professional interactions and scientific discussion in other settings. • Balance across scientific disciplines, academic institutions, and geographic settings make for a more accepting and dynamic environment.
