This is a final reminder for all interested in continental lower crust!
The abstract deadline for the 5-9 Dec 2011 AGU Fall Meeting is AUGUST 4!
Session T42 - "Reconciling Direct and Indirect Constraints on Flow of Continental Lower Crust"
Confirmed Keynote Speaker - Leigh Royden, MIT
Description: Provocative new data on the rheological evolution of continental lower crust have been provided
by observations of orogenic plateaus and other tectonic systems. Discussion by emerging and leading
scientists will be framed by talks from two complementary perspectives: one concerning “direct” field-based
evidence from exhumed sections of continental crust and the other focused on “indirect” or remotely-based
observations and modeling. Contributions from all pertinent fields are encouraged, including: structural
geology/petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, seismic reflection profiling, seismic tomography,
experimental rock deformation, geodynamic modeling, xenoliths, geodesy, magnetotelluric imaging, etc.
Please consider joining us!
