Current MAGE project:Mars early history & mantle dynamics
Would chemical stratif. due to fractional crystallization of a deep magma ocean be able to start a dynamo and reproduce the Martian magnetic history?
This work investigates this idea with convective models…
…sudden cooling of the CMB?After L. Elkins-Tanton et al, 2003

Current MAGE projectFuture directions
An improved model will take into account:
– Phase transitions
– Viscosity variations
– Partial melting
This model will be tested against its effects on:
– Magnetic field history
– Volcanism
– Gravity signal

Collab. with other teams within the MAGE Network
![Page 13: Dynamical modeling of Mars deep interior Sylvaine Ferrachat Institut für Planetologie Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5697bfd31a28abf838cac666/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Current Experience in the Network
A few general points:
– Late arrival in the Network (as most postdocs here!)
Only a brief experience…
– Really nice welcome in the group
– Good scientific exchanges and discussions within the group
A big advantage of being part of the MAGE network:Switch from solid Earth dynamics community
to planetology community
Opportunity to:– Enlarge my field– Enter the planetology community
