Accretionary
wedges
and fold-and-thrust belts represent an outstanding place to
investigate active deformational and surface processes and the
way
these processes interact to shape mountain belts. On a
short-time
scale, the pattern of deformation and erosion illuminates
crustal
mechanics and its relation with great earthquakes, the
potential
influence of climatic- or seismically-driven erosion as well
as the
influence of fluid flow. On longer-time scales, the structure
and
dynamics of fold-thrust belts offers unique insights into the
likely
influence of structural and rheological inheritance.
This
session aims at bridging the gap between spatial - from
shallow depth
to full lithospheric scale- and temporal -short-term vs
long-term-
scales for a better understanding of building of orogenic
wedges and
to provide a forum for all disciplines concerned with
compressive
wedges to meet and discuss their views.
We warmly welcome
contributions reporting regional case studies of fold-thrust
belts
and accretionary wedges and their links to hinterland portions
of
mountain belts, as well as more topical works on seismology,
mechanics, structural geology, geomorphology, hydrogeology
together
with analogue or numerical modelling approaches of these
fascinating
geological objects.
Looking
forward meeting you in
Vienna,
Stefano Tavani
