SEDI 2020 Taipei

SEDI 2020 Online Streaming Platform: The SEDI 2020 online streaming platform held from October 1^st to 31^st and shared latest results in Deep Earth science. We would like to thank all participants for their contributions (see list of all participants here). We look forward to seeing you again at SEDI 2022, Taipei (July 11^th-15^th, 2022).

The 17^th Symposium of SEDI, Study of the Earth's Deep Interior, a Committee of IUGG, will be held in Taipei, Taiwan.
The meeting will take place at National Taiwan University (NTU), which is located downtown in Taipei. The Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, is in charge of the local organization.
SEDI is an international scientific organization dedicated to the Study of the Earth's Deep Interior. The ultimate goal of SEDI is an enhanced understanding of the past evolution and current thermal, dynamical and chemical state of the Earth's deep interior and of the effect that the interior has on the structures and processes observed at the surface of the Earth. The 'deep interior' is generally considered to be the core and lower mantle, but interest may extend to the surface, for example, in the study of mantle plumes or dynamics of descending lithospheric slabs.

The scientific questions and problems of interest to SEDI include the geomagnetic dynamo and secular variation, paleomagnetism and the evolution of the Earth's deep interior, composition, structure and dynamics of the outer core, dynamo energetics, structure of the inner core, core cooling and the core-mantle boundary region, core-mantle boundary shape, coupling and the rotation of the Earth, lower mantle: structure, convection and plumes, nature and location of deep geochemical reservoirs, etc.
