Catalina has asked me to forward the following message:

Dear colleagues,

the EGS/AGU/EUG meeting in Nice (April, 7-11, 2003) will host a session entitled: "Magnetic fabric today: new techniques and new approaches".

We encourage you all to submit an abstract and participate in this session. Please pass this information along to anyone who might be interested.

The abstract deadline is 15 January 2002. More information can be obtained from:

Looking forward to seeing you in Nice!

The session conveners,

Charly Aubourg, Fatima Hernandez Martin, Catalina Luneburg, Mike Jackson

EVENT INFORMATION

The field of investigation in rock magnetic fabrics has been widened by the application of selective techniques (such as AARM), additional treatments (heating, AF, acid),
  separation of components, and comparison with other textural techniques. This leads to a new approaches of for studying sedimentary, as well as strain estimates, or
  magmatic processes, but is has it also has important consequences for our understanding of magnetic carriers of natural remanent magnetization.
  In this session, we aim to:
  1 Present the state of the art of magnetic fabric methods. Studies on comparisons with other textural and anisotropy techniques (seismic anisotropy, x-ray texture
  goniometry, electron microscopy, etcŠ) will be greatly appreciated. We also encourage contributions that explore the role of additional treatments as e.g. heating or AF
  demagnetization.
  2 Present original contribution of magnetic fabrics in various environments and tectonic frameworks. We encourage to compare magnetic fabrics to other geological
  elements features such as sedimentary features, brittle and ductile deformation structures, CMT foci, lava flow, as well as investigations focused on the development of
  magnetic anisotropy;
  3 Investigates the relationship between paleomagnetism and magnetic fabric. Composite magnetic fabrics in sedimentary or plutonic rocks give rise to questions about the

  petrofabric of the ferromagnetic grains which carry the NRM, and about the origin, fidelity and significance of the remanence.
