Dear all,
We would like to remind you about the upcoming EGU 2009 session
"Low-temperature thermochronology: advances and applications" (GM2.2
<http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2009/session/553>) that Fin
Stuart and I are organising. We encourage you to submit your abstract to
this session (abstract submission deadline is 13 January 2009).
Session information:
Low-temperature mineral thermochronometers have been used for many years to
decipher the history of rock cooling in response to large-scale tectonic
processes. The development of new thermochronometers and improved procedures
of established techniques are providing information on ever shorter
timescales relevant to the study of how tectonic and climatic processes have
shaped landscape. Combining these techniques with numerical surface process
models is allowing the details of topographic development in a variety of
tectonic settings to be unraveled. This session seeks to bring together
researchers who are developing low temperature thermochronometry and
numerical model techniques in an effort to address how, and at what rate,
landscape has evolved and determine the principle controls.
Best wishes for 2009,
Regards,
Jurgen Foeken
