1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Derya Guerer <derya.guerer@xxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the TS7.10 session: "*A trans-disciplinary view of the Tethyan realm through space and time: subduction and collisional zones from the Mediterranean to southeast Asia"*. This session is co-organized with GD6/GMPV11/SM1. We encourage contributions using trans-disciplinary and innovative methods including geology (tectonics, stratigraphy, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, and geomorphology), geophysics (seismicity, seismic imaging, seismic anisotropy, gravity), geodesy (GPS, InSAR), modelling (numerical and analogue), natural hazards (earthquakes, volcanism). The keynote will be delivered by Yani Najman (Lancaster University). Please note that EGU will be online this April and has reduced or free registration fees making it more accessible for anyone who can join online. The *abstract deadline is 13 January 2021 at 13:00 CET*. We look forward to your contributions and seeing you virtually in 2021, Best wishes, Derya, Marc, Ã?gnes, Andy and Claudia ________________________________ Session description The Tethyan orogenic belt is one of the largest and most prominent collisional zones on Earth. The belt ranges from the Mediterranean in the west to Papua New Guinea in the east. It results from the subduction and closure of multiple basins of the Tethys Ocean and the subsequent collision of the African, Arabian and Indian continental plates with Eurasia. Its long-lasting geological record of the opening and closure of oceanic basins, the accretion of arcs and microcontinents, the complex interactions of major and smaller plates, and the presence of subduction zones at different evolutionary stages, has progressively grown as a comprehensive test site to investigate fundamental plate tectonics and geodynamic processes with multiple disciplines. Advances in a variety of fields provide a rich and growing set of constraints on the crust-lithosphere and mantle structure and their physical and chemical characteristics, as well as the tectonics and geodynamic evolution of the Tethyan orogenic belt. We welcome contributions presenting new insights and observations derived from different perspectives, including geology (tectonics, stratigraphy, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, and geomorphology), geophysics (seismicity, seismic imaging, seismic anisotropy, gravity), geodesy (GPS, InSAR), modelling (numerical and analogue), natural hazards (earthquakes, volcanism). In particular, we encourage the submission of trans-disciplinary studies, which integrate observations across a range of spatial and temporal scales to further our understanding of plate tectonics as a planetary process of fundamental importance. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
