November is upon us. To anyone interested in attending the Tectonic Studies Group meeting next January 6th-8th in Birmingham, a quick reminder that registration and abstract submission is open. The Abstract deadline is Friday 11th December. Send your abstracts to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
I’m going to have to put a deadline on the online registrations. So online full registration will also close on Friday 11th December. Thereafter only individual daily registrations can be accepted at the venue.
Information about accommodation and everything else can be found on our TSG web page: http://www.gees.bham.ac.uk/tsg2010.shtml
Information concerning parking – I’m afraid we have to use the peripheral pay & display car parks http://www.has.bham.ac.uk/support/parking/visitors.shtml
Meeting programme:
We encourage submissions on any aspect of structural geology and tectonics. We plan to frame the programme of talks and posters in a topical format based on the abstracts that we receive. In no particular order, the topics we are thinking of currently include (but are most definitely not restricted to):
Advances in digital technologies and spatial analysis in structural geology and tectonics
Subsurface or 3D imaging
Latest analogue and numerical modelling of structural processes
Emplacement of magma, sediment and salt
Highland Border Complex: obducted ophiolite vs passive margin
Ongoing novel research
[Please feel free to email and offer other suggestions for topics or themes]
These may form mini-themes which cover a number of sessions of more specific interest or may develop or merge into other topics as we get abstracts submitted. I’ve taken some ideas from recent geotectonics discussions.
Please send me suggestions for other topical sessions and volunteers to chair them.
Post meeting workshop:
Saturday 9th. Move2010 software – introduction to Move for research and teaching.
Although there is no official registration, places are limited to 30 and there will be a nominal charge for a buffet lunch. It will be first come first serve. We plan to emphasise the research potential of this software and are keen to encourage postgrads. There is also a great teaching potential, if mapping students can gain access to it, so academic users are welcome. This workshop will be designed for beginner level users and aims to equip users with the capability to apply this software to a range of research and teaching applications. We welcome suggestions for possible applications that attendees can bring along.
Best regards
