About DRT:
In 1976 Henk Zwart, Richard Lisle, Gordon Lister and Paul Williams organised a meeting at the Geologisch en Mineralogisch Instituut der Rijksuniversiteit Leiden (The Netherlands) on Fabrics, Microtextures and Microtectonics. Their aim was to ‘bring together as many as possible of the people active in this field; not only geologists but also material scientists from other disciplines’.
Ever since, the meeting is hosted every two years by a different European university. The conference series got its brand name ‘Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics’ or DRT in 1999.
DRT meetings are devoted to the study of deformation behaviour and rheology of minerals, rocks and materials, at all scales. It aims to provide an integrative forum where field geologists, experimentalists and modellers discuss the problems and questions posed by natural structures and microstructures.
