Session title: Imaging and modeling geological structures from microscopic to orogen
scales
Description: Modern imaging methods at different scales allow
the quantitative characterization of bedrock, offering new opportunities to
model geological structures in 3-D. A range of 2-D and 3-D methods have been
developed to visualize nanoscale textures in rocks to orogen scale structures.
For example, lab- and synchrotron based X-ray computed micro- and
nanotomography are emerging techniques to precisely image the interior of rock
volumes in 3-D. On the other hand, ''structure from motion'' based aerial
photogrammetry, airborne LiDAR and terrestrial laser scanning, high-resolution
geophysical (gravity and magnetic) images and seismic profiles are popular
imaging tools in geological mapping and 3-D modeling. We solicit contributions
to this session on imaging technologies from field-based, experimental,
analogue and numerical research at all scales. Advancements in analytical
imaging techniques (e.g., SEM, EPMA, LA-ICP-MS) related to microtectonics are
also welcome!
Deadline for abstract submission: 19 October, 2015
