Dynamic processes shape the Earth and other planets throughout their history. Processes and lifetimes of magma oceans establish the initial conditions on the development of rocky planets and their early atmospheres. Liquid core dynamics generate magnetic fields. Finally, the dynamics of the mantle and core shape the present-day observable structure of the Earth and planetary bodies.

This session aims to provide a multidisciplinary view on the dynamics of the Earth and planets. We welcome contributions that address the structure, dynamics, composition and evolution of their mantle and core, and their interactions with the outer layers, on temporal scales ranging from the present day to billions of years, and on spatial scales ranging from microscopic mineralogical samples, kilometer-size seismic structures to global planetary models.
