CALL FOR PAPERS
Tectonic Studies Group Meeting
Friday 10th September 2004
Burlington House, Piccadilly, London
New Dynamics in Paleostress Analysis
The analysis of paleostress is a key objective for tectonic
understanding, with potential applications to the petroleum industry,
earthquake studies, the soft and hard rock mining industries, and the
mineral exploration
industry. A variety of techniques have been proposed and used over
the last few decades, but today an exciting renaissance in the
subject is occurring. New methods are increasingly capable of dealing
with real fault measurements, which commonly have a complex signal
hidden within considerable noise. Neural networks, fuzzy logic,
clustering and multiple inversion are some of the new techniques that
can be brought to bear on the problem of polyphase and noisy data.
The conference will address these and other new directions in
paleostress, and it will present the cutting edge of research in the
field. It will appeal to structural geologists working in any field
in which fault analysis is important.
The conference format will include short oral contributions as well
poster presentations. Submitted abstracts should be as a one A4 page
Word document.
Deadline date for abstract submission: 1 July, 2004.
Convenors: Tom Blenkinsop (JCU, Townsville) and
Richard Lisle (Cardiff University)
