TERRANE PROCESSES AT THE PACIFIC MARGIN OF GONDWANA (TAPMOG)
A meeting of the British Antarctic Survey and the Tectonic Studies Group and Geochemistry Group of the Geological Society
to be held at: New Hall College, Cambridge, UK, 5-6 September 2003.
Call for papers
New isotope and geochemical techniques, combined with regional scale multidisciplinary studies, have produced major new insights into the evolution of the Gondwana margin in the Phanerozoic. Terrane processes were active prior to and during break-up of the supercontinent with implications for palaeoenvironmental and tectonic interpretations. This meeting seeks to bring together terrane specialists in a range of disciplines, with a focus on the following topics:
o Phanerozoic terrane accretion along the Pacific margin of Gondwana
o Terrane transport mechanisms
o Detrital processes and sedimentary provenance
o Where is the Permian arc?
o Isotope tracing of terrane sources using Hf and SHRIMP
o Palaeoenvironmental implications of terrane movements
o Terrane palaeobiogeography
o Geochemical tracers of terrane deep structure
o Pressure-temperature-time evolution of terrane accretion events
o Interactions between marginal and interior processes during break-up
o Remote sensing of terranes and terrane boundaries
o Studies from comparable margins
It is intended that refereed papers from this meeting will be published as a Geological Society Special Publication. If you are interested in contributing to the meeting please send an abstract of your paper to either of the convenors:
