Dear all,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the following session at the coming EGU General Assembly (2019).

TS7.5/GD5.11 Accretion, collision and oroclinal bending in the Late Paleozoic: linking with the supercontinental evolution (co-organized) 

Invited speaker: Stephen Johnston (University of Alberta)

Deadline for financial support: 1 December 2018

Abstract submission deadline: 10 January 2019

The supercontinental cycle has profound influences on the evolution of the solid Earth, climate, and life at least since the Paleoproterozoic. Our understanding on the geodynamics of the supercontinental assembly and its link with global accretional and collisional events as well as large-scale orogenic curvatures (oroclines) remains incomplete. Here we focus on the Late Paleozoic evolution of the Pangea supercontinent, which was accompanied by a serious of accretionary, collisional and orocline bending events within its core (Appalachian-Variscan-Alleghanian) and along its boundaries (Terra Australis, Central Asian Orogenic Belt and Western Americas belts). We hope to bring new data and fresh ideas together to further understand the geodynamic link of the global orogenic evolution with the supercontinent assembly. We welcome all contributions on Late Paleozoic geology, paleomagnetism, tectonics and geodynamics.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Vienna!

Kindly regards
