Subject:       Gordon Research Conference Announcement

Sirs:

Could you please post this conference announcement, which will
be of interest to your subscribers.

Announcement of 
Gordon Research Conference on Rock Deformation:
Grain Boundaries, Interphase Boundaries, and Surfaces in Rocks

New London, New Hampshire, 8-13 August 1999
Brian Evans (MIT) and Ernie Rutter (Manchester), co-chairs

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------

Rationale:

A cutting edge is, by definition, the junction of two interfaces. And,
interfaces, in general, are regions of transition, turbulence, and mixing.
They are sources and sinks for defects, nucleation sites for phase
transitions, initial flaws that generate (or suppress) fracture, and
surfaces where frictional sliding occurs. They are the sites of reactions,
fast diffusion pathways, and regions whose properties vary quite
substantially from the bulk material on either side. In both figurative and
scientific terms, they are where the action is. During the last 20 years, a
remarkable flowering of knowledge about interfaces and surfaces in metals,
ceramics, and minerals has occurred. New techniques including electron
microscopy, Auger microscopy, and atomic force microscopes allow
observation of surfaces and grain boundaries at the atomic scale. Ab initio
calculations of interface regions can now be done using realistic potential
energy descriptions.  As these techniques and descriptions have been
applied to mineral interfaces, it has become clear that interfacial
properties and mechanisms are critical for understanding geodynamic
processes, petrologic reactions, transport properties, and resource
recovery. Thus, it is a pleasure to write to tell you about the 1999 Gordon
Conference on Rock Deformation to be held in New London, NH on 8-13 August. 


As you may know, Gordon Conferences are unique in providing structured and
unstructured time for discussions amongst the participants. The invited
presentations, given by experts in the field,  give current overviews of
the state of the science and projections into the future of research.
Discussions during the sessions can be far-ranging and allow the
participants to debate and discuss the cutting edge of research in this
area. Afternoons are intentionally reserved for informal discussions. Two
poster sessions are designed to allow focused presentations of detailed
research results of all the participants. 

We have included the schedule for the conference below, and I hope you
agree with us that the quality of the speakers is truly outstanding.
Applications to the conference are handled by the Gordon Research
Committee. Admission to the conference is "first come, first serve"  but
there is a limit of 130 participants. Thus, it is important for you to fill
out the application at your earliest convenience. Encourage others who
might be interested to apply early too. Participants who do so receive a
discounted rate. You may apply by email by visiting the application part of
the main Gordon Conference Site at http://www.grc.uri.edu/apply.htm 
We have established a web page for our conference at
http://web.mit.edu/mok/www/Gordon . If you would like more information,
drop by. We welcome your comments on the web page; send them to the web
master, Uli Mok, at [log in to unmask] You are encouraged to establish links to
this web page from other sites. If you have questions please feel free to
email to [log in to unmask] or to [log in to unmask]

We hope to see you in New Hampshire this August for this exciting conference.

Sincerely
Brian Evans
Ernie Rutter
