EUROPEAN UNION OF GEOSCIENCES
EUG 10 STRASBOURG, FRANCE
28 March - 1 April
Call for Abstracts (Deadline: 15 November 1998 !!)
Symposium G6 "Interaction between tectonic and Earth surface
processes".
Convenors: Iain Stewart (Brunel,UK)
Philip A. Allen (Dublin, Ireland)
Theme:
The symposium will consider the role of surface processes in
expressing, influencing and possibly even driving geodynamic
processes at a variety of different scales, from local to
continental. At a broad scale, the complex interchange between
'exogenic' and 'endogenic' phenomena is evident from links
between orogenic uplift, denudation and sediment transfer in
young mountain belts, and by the subsequent effects that mountain
growth has on regional and global climate. At the other extreme,
small-scale patterns of landform development, weathering,
hillslope development, channel incision and sedimentation are
powerful keys to understanding the nature, rates and dynamics of
earthquake-related faulting. Between these two extremes is a
continuum of scales at which tectonic and surface processes
interact. The symposium, therefore, should be a wide-ranging
forum for debate, facilitating and promoting interchange between
Earth Scientists from geology, seismology, hydrology,
geomorphology, climatology/meteorology and geochemistry.
Abstracts must be submitted by 15th November 1998. Submission
instructions are to be found on the EUG10 website
(http://eost.u-strasbg.fr/EUG). Submission of abstracts can be
either via the EUG10 website or by mail (diskette plus three
paper copies) to the EUG Office. You are strongly advised to use
the www. Do not submit the abstract by e-mail or fax. There is an
abstract fee (website: 150FRF; mail: 300 FRF) but
your registration fee (reduced rate) can wait until 31 January
1999.
Details on other symposia and sessions at EUG10, together with
information on registration, accommodation etc. can also be found
on the web site.
