Deep Earth Meeting

The Deep Earth Meeting provides an excellent platform to discuss interesting papers and/or present our recent exciting research progress on a variety of deep Earth topics, including mineral physics, geodynamics, seismology, and geochemistry. In each monthly meeting, a number of group members, including designated or volunteered, will lead the discussions.  

We welcome anyone (faculty, postdoc, student, and research assistant, etc.) interested in this meeting to join us!

Please contact Wen-Pin (ironck13@gmail.com) if you have any questions or volunteer to lead the discussion.
