SEDI 2016

Scientific program

Oral sessions will take place from Monday (morning) until Friday (noon). Each session will start by a 40-minute review talk and followed by two 20-minute research talks and a discussion lead by the chairman. All other contributions will be as posters, they will be displayed all week long. Discussions around posters will be possible during coffee breaks, as well as after afternoon sessions.

Abstract book (pdf, 3.2 Mo)

Important notice

Speakers: all presentations are required to be in pdf. A PC (windows) will be available on stage for all presentations. We will kindly ask to presenters to upload their presentations before each sessions (memory stick or any other device). The beamer is supposed to support both 4:3 and 16:9 formats. Individual laptop can be also plugged but it is safer to make a test during the preceding break.

Presenters: poster boards are 90 cm width X 190 cm height (portrait only). We will not be able to accomodate larger formats. Posters will be hung with double-face tape.

Program

The sessions will focus on several aspects regarding the physics, chemistry and dynamics of the Earth and planets. The list given below does not reflect the oral schedule, which will be defined later. A special issue of Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors will follow the SEDI meeting, with an expected deadline in the fall of 2016.
