DEEP-2024

SinoProbe-II (2024-2030) has just been funded by the Chinese government with a grand new mission. Building on the foundation of SinoProbe-I, the ambitious aims of the SinoProbe-II are to: 1) significantly improve deep-Earth exploration technology; 2) increase the depth extent of deep Earth targets; 3) enhance the knowledge of the structure, composition, and deep evolution of the lithosphere of the continental East Asia and its surface evolution, and 4) reveal the deep dynamics of mineralization, hydrocarbon accumulation, and geohazard. The expansion of deep Earth perspectives will lead to the birth of “Modern Deep Earth Science”. The main targets of the SinoProbe-II include: 1) Lithospheric Fine Structure Imaging: Integrated deep seismic profiling together with three-dimensional P- and S-wave velocity structure (broadband station spacing of 30×30 km), and electrical structural imaging of continental lithosphere at a 1°×1° resolution. 2) Deep Earth Composition: using techniques such as rock-probes, isotope tracing, and deep-penetration geochemistry, the material composition of the lithosphere at different layers will be determined. 3) Deep Processes and Surface Evolution Observational System, deploying multi-parameter, long-term, in-situ and real-time integrated physical, chemical, biological and geological observation systems in the zone where the continental margin and geodynamic processes are active. 4) Develop 10,000+ meter Scientific Drilling Technology and Equipment: developing extra-deep scientific drilling equipment, directly obtaining deep Earth samples, establishing geophysical and geochemical markers at great depths, testing or verifying the scientific validity of the geophysical and geology predictions. 5) Develop and broaden Deep Earth Science: study the deep materials and interfaces characteristics, deep Earth material circulation, deep Earth dynamics processes and mechanisms, sedimentary archives and environmental effects, investigate the mechanism of the unique properties of the lithospheric structure of East Asia in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras and its response to the surface system, and the process of continental formation and evolution at the depth. SinoProbe adheres to the principle of wide-open cooperation, and continues to exchange and share the science progress with global scientists, universities, institutes and organizations. SinoProbe strives to advance the geoscience for the sustainable development of the Mankind.

The Earth CT international cooperation program originates from initial discussions during the International Symposium, DEEP-2018. Deep Earth processes control geological evolution, including the formation of natural resources, natural disasters, and large-scale environmental changes at the surface of the Earth. The Earth CT program aims to globally construct long profiles in wide corridors to image the lithosphere by integrative interpretation of geoscientific data. This session welcomes researchers from all over the world to share their research achievements in the field of deep lithospheric studies using integrative techniques including deep seismic reflection and refraction profiling, broadband seismic observations, magnetotelluric sounding (MT) and so on. The aims of the CT program are to reveal the deep structure of the lithosphere, recognize the deep processes of plate movement and their control and influence on the surface system, explore energy and mineral resources at depth, and provide insight into geoscience frontier issues, such as the mechanisms controlling natural disasters and their intrinsic dynamics. Informed by such studies of existing results, we also seek to stimulate future lithospheric research by a discussion of critical tectonic zones that have not yet been probed by modern deep exploration techniques. We hope that this discussion will facilitate new initiatives such as the global deep exploration cooperation (Earth CT) program.

General Discussion and Conclusion

Understanding the geodynamics of the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau provides crucial insights into global tectonic processes, mountain building mechanisms, and associated natural hazards. Recently, a wealth of deep exploration and geodynamic studies of the Himalaya-Tibetan orogen have been conducted to decipher the underlying mechanisms of the continental collision and orogeny. Surface processes, such as erosion, sedimentation and climate dynamics, in turn influence the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya–Tibetan plateau. This session focuses on the studies of the deep processes and geodynamics that shape this vast orogen, as well as the studies concerning the complex interactions between tectonics and surface processes. We invite submissions aimed at documenting and understanding the collisional tectonics, lithospheric geometry and mass balance of the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau, using any geophysical, geochemical, geochronological or geological datasets, and/or geodynamic modelling, with the aim of elucidating the 4D evolution of this continental collision.

General Discussion and Conclusion

This interdisciplinary session invites contributions from disciplines in geophysics, geodynamics, structural geology and geochemistry that focus on the structure and evolution of the continental lithosphere and on geodynamic processes within the continental interior. The session will present overviews of current knowledge on the structure of the crust and the upper mantle in different tectonic settings, ranging from Precambrian cratons to sedimentary basins, continental rift zones, and intracontinental collisional orogens. Geodynamic studies will demonstrate the role of various processes in intracontinental deformation, ranging from collisional, extensional and strike-slip deformation by plate tectonics, to intracontinental deformation caused by lithosphere-mantle dynamic interaction associated with hotspots, large igneous provinces and large-scale impacts.

General Discussion and Conclusion

Melting of the mantle transports materials from depth to the Earth’s surface and builds the crust. Conversely, crustal material returns to the mantle through subduction, erosion and/or delamination. Such a cycling process plays a key role in the habitability of our planet. The recycling of crustal materials, including volatiles, not only affects the net growth of the crust, but also modifies the composition and the physical property of the mantle. In recent decades, crustal growth, crustal recycling processes and the fate of recycled crust have been investigated through petrological/geochemical observations of natural rocks, e.g. oceanic/continental basalts, mantle xenoliths/xenocrysts, ophiolitic mantle rocks, orogenic peridotites, ultra-high pressure metamorphic rocks, diamonds and their inclusions, and also through high-pressure experiments and geodynamic modelling. Recent progress on the above topics is welcome in this session.

General Discussion and Conclusion

Interactions between geological and surface processes and deep earth dynamics are increasingly recognized at various scales over the past decades. This ongoing research has profound implications for predicting natural hazards, interpreting sedimentary archives, and modelling global geochemical cycles. Earth surface processes operate at the intersection of tectonics, climate, and biology, making them inherently multifaceted and complex to study. Recent advances in geo/thermochronology, numerical methods, and remote sensing continue to improve our ability to measure landscape dynamics and explore the complicated interplay between various earth systems across an increasing range of spatial and temporal scales. Improved techniques used in novel combinations facilitates interrogating geologic processes that differ across landscapes and timescales. In this session, we welcome studies that combine analytical techniques and new approaches to investigate diverse terrestrial processes (e.g. mountain building, erosion, landscape development, weathering, soil development, ecosystem shifts) across disparate spatial or temporal domains, and attempt to explore the potential linkage with deep earth dynamics.

General Discussion and Conclusion

One of the important tasks of solid-Earth science is to investigate deep crustal and whole lithosphere architecture, pathways and processes that create large-scale mineralization. Lithospheric (magmas and rock) probes and isotopic mapping (such as whole-rock Nd, zircon Hf) provide powerful datasets that can be used to interpret abundant geophysical data for these deep regions and to define their thermochemical structure that can inform energy- and mineral-exploration strategies. This session is focused on: (1) Continental growth and three-dimensional deep Lithospheric architecture from 3D to 4D;(2) Ore systems, their timing and location as related to lithospheric architecture and tectonic environment; and (3) Integration of petrology, geochemical, and geophysical datasets in constructing 3D-4D Lithospheric architecture and a predictive model for metallogenesis through time. Case studies on regional crustal and underlying mantle architecture, deep-lithosphere geochemical fingerprints, and regional metallogenesis are also welcome.

General Discussion and Conclusion

The geological processes in the lithosphere are closely related to deposition of minerals, many of which occur only in specific lithospheric settings. We invite contributions from geology, geophysics, geodynamics, geochemistry and petrology with focus on the links between the crustal structure, lithosphere evolution, plate tectonics, deep mantle processes, including LIPs, and the origin of various mineral deposits in different geodynamic and tectonic settings. Multidisciplinary contributions with focus on Precambrian cratons, continental collisional belts, modern and paleo-subduction systems, and large igneous provinces are particularly welcome.

General Discussion and Conclusion

Earthquakes are not random occurrences but do lack an obvious principle of organization. Instead, earthquakes appear self-organized phenomena within Earth’s hierarchy ranging from tectonic plates to grains of rocks that move relative to each other. Significant steps have been made towards assessing earthquake space-time-magnitude relationships and recognition of multifactorial patterns, showing the potential for reproducible, testable, and reliable operational earthquake forecasting. Regrettably, existing systems of operational early warning after an earthquake occurs have large “dead/blind zones” due to uncertainty in quick determinations of its size and location. Pre-earthquake anomalous phenomena exhibit spatiotemporal characteristics; realistic forecast assessment may consider different time scales from decades to months (or even weeks, or days) at global, regional, and local scales. This session encourages the exchange of knowledge and sharing of good practices acquired through various methodologies. Contributions addressing the following theoretical and practical issues are welcome:
• Relevant state-of-the-art multidisciplinary observations.
• Systematic analysis, physical interpretation, and modelling of earthquake related processes.
• Validation and statistical justification of various candidates to precursors of catastrophic earthquakes.
• Earthquake forecast/prediction experiments and testing of predictability.
• Time-dependent seismic hazard assessment based on reproducible observables.
• Methods for cascading risks assessment.
• Problems in dissemination of earthquake related information.

General Discussion and Conclusion

Dense arrays have been widely used in seismological studies and have greatly facilitated our understanding of seismic source properties and Earth’s structures of various length scales. Nodal arrays (geophones with built-in battery and digitizer) have more recently been used in high-resolution imaging of regional crustal structures, volcanic regions, fault zones, urban areas, oil and gas fields and mineral deposits, etc. These seismic nodes are much cheaper and easier to deploy than broadband sensors, making dense arrays with tens or hundreds of meters receiver spacing feasible for high-resolution imaging of shallow structures and high-precision earthquake locations. In addition, recent developments in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) have make ultra-dense-array imaging and source location applicable even using existing telecommunication fiber cables. In this session, we invite contributions from all relevant studies using dense arrays composed of broadband seismometers, integrated geophones, or DAS. We are particularly interested in new techniques related to data processing, imaging, full waveform inversion, and source location (including induced and triggered earthquakes) based on dense arrays. Dense array applications with passive and active sources including ambient noise sources are all encouraged for submission.

We call for contributions on all aspects of Electromagnetic (EM) methods that advance our understanding of the tectonics and geodynamics of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. We seek presentations from field observations to physical/numerical modelling that image the solid Earth on both the regional and the global scales. Development of laboratory measurements of rock/mineral resistivity, new instrumentation, and new methodologies are also welcomed. Multi-disciplinary studies that combine the EM and other geophysical methods are particularly encouraged.

General Discussion and Conclusion

As a sustainable and renewable primary energy source, natural hydrogen (geo-hydrogen) is gradually becoming the focus of global energy research. The success of natural hydrogen exploration and development in Mali, shows its industrial development potential. The United States, Australia, France and other countries have carried out special natural hydrogen exploration and resource evaluation work, and Science listed "Hunt for natural hydrogen heats up" as one of the top ten scientific breakthroughs in 2023. Our current understanding about the natural processes leading to natural hydrogen's formation and occurrence is rather vague, especially when it comes to quantitative and economic considerations. The formation mechanisms and enrichment modes of natural hydrogen, the preservation of natural hydrogen, and the development of detection and exploitation technologies all need our attention. This session welcomes and invites global scientists engaged in natural hydrogen research to submit abstracts to participate in the discussion of the earth's natural hydrogen resources.
