Dear Friends and Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to a forthcoming session at the Australian Earth Science Convention in Newcastle, NSW (7-10 July 2014) on the topic of Archean and Proterozoic Hot Orogens: Rocks, Models, Mechanisms, and Resources convened by Klaus Gessner ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Ivan Zibra ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), and Michael Doublier ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) In the past decade a large number of field, laboratory and numerical studies have supported the hypothesis that crustal deformation in hot lithosphere can be fundamentally different compared to cool lithospheric environments. This insight has challenged the application of more traditional concepts of extension, accretion and collision within Archean and Proterozoic lithospheric provinces that host mineral deposits and energy resources in Australia and elsewhere. We invite oral and poster presentations that contribute to the understanding of heat and mass transfer in hot orogens, in particular with regard to evolving structure, lithospheric strength, metamorphism, crustal melting, and fluid flow in Archean and Proterozoic crust. Deadline for abstracts is 14 March: please go to http://www.aesc2014.gsa.org.au/themes/dynamic-planet/session-details-dynamic-planet/ to submit Regards, Michael Geoscience Australia Disclaimer: This e-mail (and files transmitted with it) is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed.
