Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the JpGU-AGU joint meeting this year scheduled on May 24-25. M-IS08 [EE] Living on the edge! Geodynamics, Tectonics and Paleogeography of East Asia during the Phanerozoic Subduction, collision, rifting, massive volcanism, hazards, mass extinctions… Present day East Asia has lived on the edge of the longest lasting tectonic system on Earth: the interface between the Pacific – Tethyan oceans (sensu lato). East Asia is a large mosaic of tectonic elements. The assembly history of these tectonic elements until making Asia to its present form is long and difficult. A collage of cratons, microplates, volcanic arcs and oceanic plates that have been interacting in a dance of geodynamic complexity. Further complicating, Asia has suffered a protracted record of intra-continental deformation. As a result, E Asia show an impressive tectonic record, which has caused a profound effect on the evolution of the Earth's interior and surface: affecting to the global mass distribution, climate and life. This session will review the E Asia evolution as a multidisciplinary forum. We invite researchers from all branches of geoscience to present their research on any aspect of E Asia geo-evolution, with the ultimate end of understanding the geodynamic, tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of E Asia and its consequences in climate and life. Invited speakers: Inna Safonova (Sobolev institute of Geology and Mineralogy) Karel Schulman (Czech Geological Survey) - To be confirmed Weihua Yao (Curtin University) Please submit your abstracts at the following website by 17:00 JST on February 16. https://meetings.agu.org/jpgu-and-agu-partnership/ <https://meetings.agu.org/jpgu-and-agu-partnership/> Hope to see you in Chiba and best wishes, Conveners: Daniel Pastor-Galán (Tohoku University, Japan) Tatsuki Tsujimori (Tohoku University, Japan) Yukio Isozaki (University of Tokyo, Japan) Uyanga Bold (University of Tokyo, Japan)
