BACKGROUND
Deep Earth exploration is a multi-disciplinary, complex undertaking
aimed at understanding the structure, dynamics and evolution of the
continents and their margins. Interactions between Earth’s tectonic plates
produced the continents and oceans that characterise our planet while
creating the mineral resources that support our standard of living. Active
tectonic processes are also responsible for devastating hazards such as
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and control Earth's surface topography,
which fundamentally affect the climate, environment and our modern life.
Therefore, it is of common interest to society worldwide to study the
interior of the Earth and to gain fundamental insights into how our planet
operates.
SinoProbe is funded for Earth exploration with an unprecedented
scope and ambition by the Chinese Government. The overall aim of
SinoProbe is to take a multi-disciplinary approach in studying the
composition, structure and evolution of the continental lithosphere of
China. SinoProbe-I, the initial phase of SinoProbe, was launched in 2008
and was successfully completed in 2016. This was followed by DREAM
(Deep Resources Exploration and Advanced Mining) from 2016-2021 and
Deep Geological Survey since 2016. These projects have provided
researchers with rich data sets to image, sample and monitor the continent
and underlying mantle at a resolution never before possible. These projects
have enabled the scientists to make important breakthroughs and
discoveries. The achievement of the past years have outlined a wide range
of exciting scientific research directions and defined new questions to be
addressed by SinoProbe-II
SinoProbe-II（2021-2030）a national strategy of "Deep Earth" is a
major program for scientific and technological innovation. It will include
acquisition over the Chinese continent and abroad of 20,000km of seismic
reflection profiles, high density broad-band seismological data with
a30x30kmstation density, and MT data at1°x1°, as well as super-deep
scientific drilling and observations. SinoProbe-II will also co-initiate the
Global Probe project, the "Earth CT", with prominent organizations that
include the ILP, IUGS, IUGG, ICDP, DCO, GFZ, and VSEGEI.
Universities and institutes from a large number of countries will also
contribute to this multi-lateral joint Earth science research.
SinoProbe insists on an "open door policy” in international
communication and cooperation. In October 2018, the DEEP-
3
2018meeting was held in Beijing. About 350 geophysicists and geologists
attended from the United States of America, Canada, Russia, Australia,
Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, Poland, United
Kingdom, Ireland, India, Singapore and China. Some international
attendees were principal and co-principal investigators of international
deep exploration programmes, such as COCORP and EarthScope of the
United States, LithoProbe and CCArray of Canada, AGCRC of Australia,
and EuroProbe, TopoEurope, and AlpArray of Europe.
DEEP-2021 will emphasise recent global research on the deep Earth.
The meeting will serve as a platform where participants can exchange
ideas on progress in deep exploration of the lithosphere, better understand
of deep processes in the Earth, expand the new knowledge into practical
applications, and consider international collaboration on deep exploration
of the Earth. DEEP-2021 will offer an unprecedented opportunity for
establishing international collaboration within the earth sciences.
SinoProbe-II will look for close partnership and collaboration through the
DEEP-2021 platform, aiming for integration of exploration and research
of critical geological study areas worldwide, and contributing to the
international sharing of exploration data and results, with the overall
objective of enhancing our knowledge of the Earth.

Quo Vadis (trans. “Where are we going?”)
Description: This session welcomes researchers from all over the world to
share their research achievements in the field of deep lithospheric studies
using such techniques as deep seismic reflection and refraction profiling,
broadband seismic observations, and magnetotelluric sounding (MT).
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.
Session 2 Deep structure and dynamics of the Himalaya-Tibet orogen
and global collision zones
Co-Conveners: SHI Yaolin(University of Chinese Academy of Sciences,
China), KLEMPERER Simon (Stanford University, USA), YIN An (State
University of California at Los Angeles, USA), NIU Fenglin (Rice
University, USA), YUAN Xiaohui (GFZ German Research Center for
Geosciences, Germany)
8Description: The Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau are the most spectacular
manifestations of continent-continent collisional orogens and forms one of
the most prominent geologic features on the Earth’s surface. This session
will highlight recent SinoProbe and other studies of Tibet and welcomes
all studies of continental collision zones around the world. We seek diverse
geologic, geochemical, geophysical and modeling studies that help us to
better understand lithospheric structure and dynamics.
Session 3 The structure and evolution of the Eurasia continent and its
margins
Co-Conveners: MILSHTEIN, Evgenia (Russian Geological Research
Institute [VSEGEI]), TAPPONNIER Paul (National Institute of Natural
Hazards, China), CARBONELL Ramon (CSIC-Inst. Earth Sciences,
Spain), MOONEY, Walter D. (U.S. Geological Survey, USA), XIAO
Wenjiao (Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, CAS, China), LIU
Lijun (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Description: Eurasia is the largest and most geologically diverse land mass
on Earth. More than five decades of exploration has probed the deep
structure of this region, including a variety of geologic, geochemical and
geophysical methods, with numerous active and passive seismic studies as
well as non-seismic methods. This session welcomes contributions that
report new insights into the deep structure of Eurasia and it margins.
Results that are multi-disciplinary and that combine multiple data sets are
welcomed.
Session 4 Dynamics of intracontinental deformation
Co-Conveners: GERYA Taras（ETH, Zurich), ZHANG Junfeng (University
of Geosciences, Wuhan, China), CHEN Ling (Institute of Geology and
Geophysics, CAS, China), WANG Qin (Nanjing University, China)
Description: This interdisciplinary session invites contributions from
various 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,
9ranging 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.
Session 5 Lithosphere structure and its control on Mineral System
（Jointly sponsored by ILP TF I - Lithosphere structure and mineral
resources）
Co-Conveners: ARTEMIEVA Irina （ Stanford University, USA), Lü
Qingtian( SinoProbe Center, China), ERNST Richard (Carleton University,
Ottawa, Canada), HOU Zengqian (National Science Foundation of China,
Institute of Geology of CAGS, China), DENTITH Michael (University of
Western Australia, Australia), LI Yaoguo(University of Colorado, USA)
Description: 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.
Session 6 Crust-mantle interaction and deep recycling
Co-Conveners: XU Yigang (Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, CAS,
China), YANG Jingsui(Nanjing University, China), GAZEL Esteban
(Cornell University, USA), ZHENG Jianping (China University of
Geosciences, Wuhan, China), CHEN Lihui(Northwest University, Xi' an,
China), GRIFFIN William (Macquarie University, Australia)
Description: Melting of the mantle transports the materials from the deep
to the earth’s surface and builds the crust. Conversely, crustal material
returns to the mantle through subduction, subduction erosion and/or
delamination. Such a cycling process plays a key role on the habitability
of our planet. The recycling of the crustal materials, including volatiles,
not only affect the net growth of the crust, but also modifies the
composition and the physical property of the mantle. In recent decades,
the crustal growth, the crustal recycling process and the fate of the recycled
10crust have been investigated not only through petrological/geochemical
observations of natural rocks, e.g. oceanic/continental basalts, mantle
xenoliths/xenocrysts, ophiolitic mantle rocks, ultra-high pressure
metamorphic rocks, ultra-deep diamonds and their inclusions, but also
through high-pressure experiments and geodynamic modelling. Recent
progresses on above topics are welcome in this session.
Session 7 Lithospheric architecture and deep material probing (Co-
sponsored by IGCP 662)
Co-Conveners: HOU Zengqian (National Science Foundation of
China, Institute of Geology of CAGS, China), WANG Tao (Institute of
Geology, CAGS, China), O' REILLY, Suzanne Y. (Macquarie University,
GEMOC ARC National Key Centre, Australia), SELTMANN, Reimar
(The Natural History Museum, UK), XIAO Wenjiao (Xinjiang Institute of
Ecology and Geography, CAS, China), GLADKOCHUB Dmitry (Institute
of the Earth's Crust, Siberian Branch, RAS, Irkutsk, Russia), VAN STAAL
Cees (Geological Survey of Canada), SAFONOVA Inna (Novosibirsk
State University, Russia)
Description: 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
crustal architecture from regional- to orogenic-scales; (2) Ore systems,
their timing and location as related to lithospheric architecture and tectonic
environment; (3) Crustal expressions of lithosphere-scale ore systems
within different orogenic types; (4) Integration of geochemical and
geophysical datasets, and the role of geodynamic modelling in the
prediction of the location metallogenic provinces. The key aims of
this session are: (1) to evaluate current methods to delineate three-
dimensional architecture for the deep crust and lithospheric mantle; (2) to
investigate the relationship between lithosphere thermochemical structure
and metallogenesis; and (3) to promote the integration of petrology,
geochemistry, tectonics, geodynamic modelling and geophysical datasets
in constructing a predictive model for metallogenesis through time. Case
11studies on regional crustal and underlying mantle architecture
and regional metallogenesis are also welcome.
Session 8 Downhole monitoring of geodynamic processes: opportunities
and challenges
Co-Conveners: WANG Chengshan (China University of Geosciences,
Beijing, China), HARMS Ulrich (ICDP, Germany), WIERSBERG
Thomas (ICDP, Germany), DONG Hailiang (China University of
Geosciences, Beijing, China)
Description: Deep Scientific Drilling is the key method to acquire in-situ
data and to retrieve uncompromised samples to complement surface
studies and verify modeling results. In the last decade, a rapid progress in
the development, installation and operation of borehole instrumentation on
land and offshore has been achieved e.g. in Turkey (GONAF), South
Africa (DSEIS), Iceland (SUSTAIN) and in the Kumano basin offshore
Japan (NanTroSEIZE) and new borehole monitoring is being planned at
various key locations around the world, e.g. in Italy (STAR), China (MW-
DUL), in the Czech Republic (EGER), and in India (Koyna). The
instruments allow to record crustal deformation over a large bandwidth of
signal frequencies including seismic waves and slow deformation, but also
tilt, temperature, fluid pressure and fluid composition, as well as microbial
activities associated with geodynamic processes. Key technical
developments include the application of fibre optic cables to record
seismic data and temperature changes along sizable borehole sections over
long periods and the deployment of ultrahigh temperature resistant
instrumentation for obtaining data from the near-field of un-solidified
magmatic bodies or from magma itself. This session aims to provide an
overview about state-of-the-art in the field of scientific drilling with a
focus on borehole monitoring. In addition, contributions on site surveys,
drilling, coring and logging techniques, borehole testing and experiments,
modeling, and science are welcome.
Session 9 Geohazards and Crust Deformation: Deep-Earth
Underground Science and Earthquake Science
Co-Conveners: WU Zhongliang (Institute of Earthquake Forecasting,
CEA, China), JIM Mori (Kyoto University, Japan), LI Li (Institute of
Geophysics, CEA, China), PARAMESH Banerjee (Nanyang
12Technological University, Singapore), LI Ying (Institute of Earthquake
Forecasting, CEA, China), SCHWEITZER Johannes (NORSAR, Norway)
Description: Earthquake science plays an essential role in the study of
geohazards. Earthquakes are the result of physical and chemical processes
in the Earth’s interior under stress. To better understand this relation new
research must go beyond the present knowledge of earthquake science.
This Session focuses on, but is not limited to, the application of ‘DEEP
Science’ to earthquake science, including fault friction and instability
within the environment of the crust, fluid physics under crustal conditions,
regular versus low-frequency (slow) earthquakes, comparative studies
with implication for ‘DEEP Science’, rheology of Earth materials in the
deep underground of the Earth and influence of different stress sources
(local, regional, global tectonic) in the crust on observed seismicity. Other
relevant geohazards, e.g., volcanoes, are welcome to be discussed in the
session.
Session 10 Geological and surface processes in response to deep earth
dynamics
Co-Conveners: LIU Jing (Tianjin University, China), KLINGER Yann
(IPGP, France), LI Haibin (Institute of Geology, CAGS, China), BRAUN
Jean (GFZ, Germany), HUNTINGTON Kate (University of Washington,
USA)
Description: 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
modeling 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
geochronology/thermo chronology, 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. The
improvement of these techniques or used in noval combination 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
13development, ecosystem shifts) across disparate spatial or temporal
domains, and attempt to explore the potential linkage with deep earth
dynamics.
Session 11 New techniques and applications in dense array seismology
Co-Conveners: YAO Huajian, ZHANG Haijiang (University of Science
and Technology of China), TIAN Xiaobo (Institute of Geology and
Geophysics, CAS, China)
Description: 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. More recently, in addition
to broadband seismograph arrays, integrated geophone arrays with built-
in battery and digitizer have been frequently used in high-resolution
imaging of regional crust structures, volcanic regions, fault zones, urban
areas, oil and gas as well as mineral deposit fields, etc. These integrated
geophones or short-period seismometers are much cheaper and easier to
deploy compared to broadband sensors, making dense arrays within 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.
Session 12 Illuminating the Deep Earth with EM Geophysics
Co-Conveners: JIN Sheng(China University of Geosciences, Beijing,
China), SCHULTZ Adam (Oregon State University, USA),YE Gaofeng
（China University of Geosciences, Beijing, China）
Description: We call for contributions on all aspects of Electromagnetic
(EM) methods that probes the deep electrical properties to advance our
understanding of the tectonics and geodynamics of the lithosphere and
asthenosphere. We seek presentations from the field observations to the
14physical/numerical modelling that images 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 combines the EM and
other geophysical methods are particularly encouraged.
Special Session (ILP Townhall Meeting)
Session 13 “Earth CT": A new initiative of global exploration of the
deep Earth within the framework of the ILP coordinating committee
on Global Geo Transects (GGT).
Co-Conveners: DONG Shuwen (SinoProbe), THYBO Hans (ILP),
PETROV Oleg (VESEGI), KRAWCZYK Charlotte (GFZ), BROWN
Larry (Cornel University, USA)
Description: The Earth CT project originates from initial discussions
during the International Symposium, DEEP-2018. Deep Earth processes
control the geological evolution, including the formation of natural
resources, natural disasters, and large-scale environmental changes at the
surface of the Earth. The Earth CT project aims to globally construct long
range profiles in wide corridors to image the lithosphere by integrative
interpretation of geoscientific data. The programme will integrate data
from structural geology and tectonic interpretation at global and
continental scales, geochemical surveys in geotransect corridors to define
their crustal and lithospheric composition, deep seismic reflection and
refraction/wide-angle reflection profiling to identify crustal and upper
mantle structure and composition, magnetotelluric(MT) sounding for the
electrical structure, broadband passive seismic tomography techniques for
global and regional velocity structure and receiver functions for
crustal/upper mantle structure, as well as gravity and magnetic regional
and global interpretation. Scientific drilling for deep earth sampling and
detection of anomalous features in key tectonic belts will be based on the
interpretation of the above data and will add substantially to the
uniqueness of the global and regional interpretation. The aims of the
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.
