Dear all,
We are pleased to invite you to the 18th International Conference on Deformation Mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics, hosted by the University of Leuven, Belgium, from
16 to 18 September 2013.
Following the DRT tradition, the Leuven meeting is devoted to the study of deformation behaviour and rheology of minerals, rocks and materials. Deformation processes on all scales of observation – from a crystallographic
defect to a metamorphic core complex – are the subject of discussion. In doing so, DRT aspires to be the main meeting in Europe, bringing together researchers in the broad fields of structural geology, geodynamics, rheology and material sciences. Dialogue
is encouraged between field geologists, experimentalists and modelers on problems and questions posed by natural structures and microstructures.
DRT2013 will honour the memory of Henk Zwart, who sadly passed away last year at the age of 88. Henk Zwart, pioneer of modern structural geology, organised in 1976 the first meeting in Leiden, The Netherlands, on Fabrics,
Microtextures and Microtectonics, which eventually (in 1999) became DRT.
For all information concerning the Leuven meeting and registration, please visit:
http://ees.kuleuven.be/drt2013/.
The deadline for abstract submission is
31 May 2013. The deadline for early bird registration in
30 June 2013.
A two-day field trip to the Ardenne-Eifel region (Germany, Belgium) will be organized, leaving Leuven on the evening of Wednesday
18 September 2013 and returning to Leuven on the evening of Friday 20 September 2013. Please note that the number of participants is limited. Participation will be reserved on a first-come first served basis.
Please advertise our meeting in your group, in particular among PhD students and early career researchers. A
poster can be downloaded.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us ([log in to unmask]).
You can also find us on Facebook and
Twitter.
Hoping to meet you in Leuven,
The Leuven DRT team
