Dear Colleagues,
The EGU - AGU Joint Assembly at Nice, France (April 6-11, 2003), will provide
an excellent opportunity to bring together the majority of specialists from all
topics of earth sciences. The Programme Committee has recently finalized the
list of the sessions including the session
VGP3.21 Quantifying diagenesis to low-grade metamorphism: Old shoes and new
paths
(co-chaired by Meinert Rahn and Sebastien Potel).
This session is designed to attract a wide range of people working in
high-grade diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic rocks, applying a large variety
of techniques such as XRD, XRF, EMP, TEM, Raman, fluid Inclusions, reflection
measurements, and various dating techniques to their samples, trying to reveal
the dominant processes and most important physical parameters under these
conditions. The topic of incipient metamorphism is especially suited to link
different fields in geosciences such as metamorphic petrology, sedimentology,
mineralogy, geochronology, and structural geology on the basis of established
and new developed analytical tools. We are seeking to bridge the gap between
different disciplines and methodical approaches in the field of high-grade
diagenesis and incipient metamorphism.
Sebastien Potel and me would like to encourage you to submit relevant material
for a lecture or poster to the above session. If you are aware of anybody in
your department or working group, to whom this session might provide an
interesting platform to share relevant material or meet the "cracks" in this
scientific field, please forward this message.
Session VGP3.21 is closely linked to session VGP3.06, "Processes at low
temperatures: advances in studies of disequilibrium systems" (with convenors
Arkai, Livi and Ferreiro-Mählmann), and among the convenors we agreed upon
taking strong efforts to avoid a temporal overlap in order to closely link the
activities of the two sessions. Both sessions represent a continuation of the
EUG sessions on very low-grade metamorphism, which were established by
Professor Martin Frey as a continuation of the activities started with IGCP
294.
