Apologies for multiple posting.
THE TECTONICS SPECIAL RESEARCH CENTRE
in association with
THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA, WESTERN AUSTRALIAN DIVISION
is pleased to announce a SYMPOSIUM devoted to
TWO BILLION YEARS OF TECTONICS AND MINERALISATION
Orogenic belts yield insights into understanding of Earth lithospheric
processes as well as spatial and temporal cross-sections of large
mineral
deposits and their ore-forming events. Recent multidisciplinary studies
of
orogenic systems have applied numerous analytical techniques within
geology, geochemistry, and geophysics to unravel histories of
sedimentation, deformation, and denudation in these regions. This
conference focuses on new advances in these techniques, applied to all
orogenic systems but with particular emphasis on the Paleoproterozoic
network of fold belts such as the Capricorn orogen in Western Australia
and
its possible continuations on other Paleoproterozoic cratons.
DATE
6 and 7 September, 1999
VENUE
Geology Department, Curtin Institute of Technology, Perth, WA
TOPICS
Presentations are invited related to the following topics:
(i) New advances in analytical techniques for unraveling the history of
orogenic belts and mineral deposits
(ii) Paleoproterozoic global tectonics and mineralisation, emphasising,
but not limited to, the Hamersley Province and Capricorn orogen.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Professor Nic Beukes (Rand Afrikaans University, Johannesburg, South
Africa)
Professor Ian Dalziel (University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA)
Professor Alfred Kröner (Mainz University, Germany)
FORMAT
Monday afternoon registration, icebreaker, and poster session.
Tuesday morning and afternoon oral presentations, with posters on
