Dear all,
submission deadline for the 3IGC is approaching soon (Feb. 29) and invite
you to consider your scientific contribution to the following
symposium:
- Marine and Continental Fold and Thrust Belts (STT6)
Continental fold and thrust belts spectacularly express
lithospheric deformation processes and their study pioneered our
understanding in modern structural geology and plate tectonics. Marine
fold and thrust belts, coequal spectacular, became increasingly eminent
during the past decades due to extensive geophysical data acquisition
pursued by off-shore exploration along various continental margins.
Though individual fold and thrust systems may have developed under
considerably different boundary conditions they reveal remarkable
similarities in internal architecture and style of deformation. The
symposium’s intention is to bring together scientists from research and
industry to discuss those similarities in fold and thrust belt
architectures, the underlying kinematics and mechanics in context of the
different tectono-stratigraphic settings. We welcome contributions from a
multi-disciplinary spectrum of relevant approaches focusing on fold and
thrust belt development that may regard local to regional studies,
analog/numerical experiments or application of innovative technologies.
We will have 3 invited lectures and a special volume with a major
publishers is planned summarizing the topics of symposium.
