Dear All,
I would like to draw your attention to a conference on "Subduction
dynamics - Bridging the Scales" to be held in Sprockhoevel (a nice spot
in the woods near Bochum) on May 29 - June 1, 2007. Some of you may have
heard about it from other sources, I apologize for the short notice here
- I should have been on the ball earlier.
The conference is part of the activities of the continuing
interdisciplinary research initiative on rheology in the University at
Bochum. The main attractive feature of the initiative as well as the
conference is its strongly interdisciplinary nature (e.g. involving
engineers, chemists, physicists, geophysicists, structural geologists,
petrologists and so forth). Please find more details on the conference at:
http://www.geophysik.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/subduction2007/index.php
and on the research initiative at
http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb526/
There is an interesting and broad spectrum of keynote speakers (see
website). The format of the conference is such that all participants
spend the entire time of the conference at the conference center, with
plenty of time for discussion in small groups. The setting is ideal for
setting up new contacts and collaborative research programs. Of course,
it is possible to visit the facilities at the Ruhr Universitaet Bochum
before or after the conference.
Do not hesitate to contact me or any of the people listed in the
websites if there are queries. Some financial support is available,
particularly for younger scientists. I hope some of you will be able to
make it in spite of the short notice, for which I apologize again.
Best wishes,
Sumit
