Past, Present and FutureWhat have we learned?-Mantle and Plates are an intimately coupled system-Deep mantle structure is important for the surface-Geological information provides quantitative constraints-Mixing is complicated!
Where are we now?-Circulation models-Generation of plates with exotic rheologies-Making real subduction zones!-Modeling isotopic and petrological heterogeneity-Modeling of observations in simple contexts (complications)
Where are we going?-Self-consistent modeling of mantle flow and lithospheric deformation-Connection to surface processes (sea-level; climate)-Understanding deep Earth structure and consequences(seismology via mineral physics)-Feedback between geodynamic models and tectonics
