Dear colleagues,
In addition to Mark Brandon's E-mail Call for Papers for the Topical
Symposium, and the List of related 32nd IGC events, I would add the
Field trip B26 (Leader: I. Mariolakos) "Neotectonic transect Moesia - Apulia".
This is one of the longest (9 days) field trips, and it aims to give a
comprehensive (as much as possible) view over the Alpine orogens
(Mid-Cretaceous Morava and Strouma zones; Late Cretaceous Srednogorie
orogen; Palaeogene - Neogene Balkanides and Hellenides) of the Balkan
Peninsula, and their exhumation in Palaeogene, Neogene and Quaternary times.
A number of controversial problems relative to exhumation will be specially
stressed on. Additional assets are the brief visits of interesting
archeological and cultural sites in Bulgaria and Greece, the recently
discovered and opened to the public Thracian temples at Starosel (5nd
Century BC) included. We are brushing up the guidebook now. For those
interested I can send on request the tectonic map with the route on
Bulgarian territory, and the full route shown on a space photograph.
I am also appealing to those interested in the
IGC WORKSHOP DWO-17 (during congress): TERTIARY TECTONICS OF SE EUROPE:
EXTENSIONAL COLLAPSE AND RIFTING OR DETACHMENT TECTONICS
Date: to be defined, 8 hours - Place: Florence
Convener: I. Zagorchev (Bulgaria)
to contact me and give the titles of their contributions. Any suggestions
are welcome. Obviously, in case there would be no sufficient number of
people willing to participate (the same could be valid for other related
symposia and workshops), it would be most natural to join one of the Topical
Symposia, and that on Exhumation
of Orogenic Belts seems to be most appropriate.
