AGU session: Making the Mediterranean: from mantle to surface processes
From: Derya Guerer <derya.guerer@xxxxxxxxx>
***************************************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the AGU2016 Fall meeting (San Francisco, 12-16 December 2016):
Making the Mediterranean: from mantle to surface processes
Session ID#: 12897
We hope that you will consider submitting an abstract to this session.
The abstract submission deadline is Wednesday 3 August, 11:59 pm EDT.
Session Description:
The Mediterranean area, from Gibraltar to the Caucasus offers an outstanding opportunity to investigate the long-lasting geological record of complex intraplate deformation and plate boundary re-configuration.
Interactions among major and smaller plates and the presence of subduction zones at different evolutionary stages provide opportunity for multi-disciplinary studies of the past and modern Mediterranean system, addressing the connection between deep and surface processes.
Topical questions include long-term evolution of a convergent plate boundary, and the relations between slab and mantle dynamics, magmatic and metamorphic processes, strain partitioning in the lithosphere and surface evolution.
We invite contributions from different and multi-disciplinary perspectives ranging from the surface to the mantle and based on geology (tectonics, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleomagnetism and geomorphology), geophysics (seismicity, seismic imaging and anisotropy), geodesy and modelling (numerical and analogue).
