Call for papers!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Colleagues
A special symposium is being convened at the EUG 10 meeting in
Strasbourg which is taking place from the 28th March to the 1st
April 1999.
TEXTURAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND
MAGMATIC TO SUBSOLIDUS PROCESSES IN IGNEOUS
ROCKS
Convenors: K. McCaffrey (Kingston, UK), D. Prior,
(Liverpool, UK) R. Weinberg (Oxford, UK) & D. Jerram (Durham,
UK).
INVITED KEY NOTES: Prof. Kathy Cashman. Prof. Bruce Marsh,
Prof. Ron Vernon, Prof. Bill Carlson
Recent developments in textural analysis and computer
visualisation has lead to renewed interest and research into
understanding the development of igneous rock textures in the
magmatic through to the subsolidus state. Convened by a newly formed
working group (on behalf of IUGS Commission on Tectonics COMTEC) on
texture and microstructures in igneous rocks. This symposium aims to
bring together geoscientists who are actively working on the
processes that control the textures and microstructures found in
igneous rocks.
Topics to be included: Quantification of rock textures in 2D and 3D,
2 and 3D reconstruction and visualisation of textures; recognition of
magmatic and subsolidus structures and microstructures in basic and
felsic igneous rocks; theoretical and experimental studies on the
textures of partially molten systems; recognition of metasomatic
textures in igneous rocks, AMS fabrics in igneous rocks.
