Dear All, We would like to invite you to submit your contribution (abstract) to our session "T031. Subduction plate boundaries from the trench to sub-arc and beyond" 2013 AGU Fall Meeting, 9-13 December, San Francisco, USA. Note: the Abstract Submission deadline is August 6 (https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/abstract-submission-policies/). T031. Subduction plate boundaries from the trench to sub-arc and beyond Description: Processes occurring along subduction plate boundaries are responsible for large earthquakes and tsunamis, ETS, volcanic eruptions, transport of rocks and fluids to extreme metamorphic conditions, and exhumation. We invite: field work, drilling and geophysical contributions on modern and ancient plate boundaries; investigations dealing with geometrical and mechanical heterogeneities, such as rheological and structural variations, differential locking and rupture, and fluid distribution; results from laboratory experiments and modelling on the physical and chemical causes of plate boundary heterogeneities, kinematic and down-dip dynamic evolution. http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/t031-subduction-plate-boundaries-from-the-trench-to-sub-arc-and-beyond/ Conveners: Paola Vannucchi - Royal Holloway University of London - [log in to unmask] Laura Crispini - DISTAV Università degli Studi di Genova - [log in to unmask] Invited Speakers: Philippe Agard (UPMC) Nathan Bangs (UTIG) Fred Chester (TAMU) Lars Ruepke (GEOMAR) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / LAURA CRISPINI Associate Professor c/o DISTAV -Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Ambiente e Vita-Universita' di Genova - Corso Europa 26 - 16132 Genova - ITALY e-mail: [log in to unmask] Phone +39 010 3538204 - Fax +39 010 352169 http://www.dipteris.unige.it/personale/CrispiniL.html / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
