Dear all,
There is still one week of time to prepare your abstracts for the next EGU 2014 (Vienna, 27 April – 02 May), and we would like to encourage you to submit your contributions to our session:
Session TS3.1/EMRP4.3/GD7.6
Ductile deformation: fabrics, fluid-rock interaction and metamorphic conditions (co-sponsored by the AGU-Tectonophysics section)
Conveners: Luca Menegon (Plymouth University, UK), Michael Stipp (GEOMAR Kiel, Germany), Giorgio Pennacchioni (University of Padua, Italy) and Rick Law (Virginia Tech, USA)
Link to the session description:
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2014/session/14600
We encourage contributions exploring the role of deformation mechanisms and microstructural evolution on the rheology of the continental and oceanic lithosphere, as well as the effect of hydration and dehydration processes on the mechanical behaviour and deformation style of the “ductile” crust. Much interest is expected also in accurate estimate of P, T, fluids conditions of ductile deformation and in linking them to microstructural and rheological evolution.
Confirmed invited speakers are:
Håkon Austrheim (Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway)
Lars Hansen (Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, UK)
Deadline for abstract submission: 16 January 2014
We wish you a Happy New Year and we are looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
Luca, Michael, Rick and Giorgio
