CALL FOR PAPERS IESCA-2012 Abstract submission deadline: May, 15th 2012 (PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR COLLEAGUES WHO MAY BE INTERESTED) On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate to the International Earth Science Colloquium on the Aegean Region (IESCA-2012) which will be held from 1-5 October 2012 in İzmir, Turkey. Please remember to submit your abstracts for oral and poster presentations by May, 15th, 2012. Abstracts should be submitted using the online submission system on the IESCA-2012 website. IESCA-2012 intends to be a global forum for researchers to present and discuss recent studies on the geology of the Aegean region. The Aegean region plays an important role in our understanding of geological problems of the eastern Mediterranean region and preserves important records of geological processes which have operated in a zone of convergence. Many examples of metamorphic, magmatic and sedimentary processes and related economic mineral deposits and energy resources of the region have already been extensively studied by earth scientists from around the world. This geological wealth is a consequence of a regional tectonic setting in which several continental blocks were amalgamated via Tethyan subduction events, giving rise to the present configuration of the region. The colloquium will be organized broadly along the lines of several regional geological topics, including tectonics, metamorphism, magmatism, sedimentation, GIS and remote sensing, geophysical research, mining and mineral deposits, energy resources and engineering geology. We are also pleased to announce that selected abstracts will be published within special issues of indexed journals. The organizing committee also encourages companies and institutions to showcase their modern products and equipment in the conference area. The congress will be held in Desem Conference Center-Dokuz Eylül University, İZMİR. The city is attracting millions of people with its beautiful nature and historical riches every year (http://www.expoizmir.org.tr/en). In addition to scientific seminars, a wide range of social programs including city tours and visits to historical places as well as field trips will be available in pre-, post- and during the congress.
