2-Day CONFERENCE on: "ALPS AND APENNINES: A NATURAL LABORATORY FOR
STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND GEODYNAMICS - Meeting in honour of Gaetano Giglia
and Tonino Decandia"
Dear Colleagues and Friends of the Geo-Tectonics mailing list,
may 2006 was a sad month for the italian geological community, for the
sudden losses of Gaetano Giglia and Tonino Decandia, two amongst the
earliest pioneers in the use of modern structural geological analysis
techniques in Italy.
A 2-day conference, supported by the Società Geologica Italiana (SGI), the
Gruppo Italiano di Geologia Strutturale (GIGS), along with the universities
of Genova, Pisa and Siena, is organized to honour the work and the memory
of these uncomparable Maestri. The conference, titled "ALPS AND APENNINES:
A NATURAL LABORATORY FOR STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND GEODYNAMICS - will be held
in Pisa on Oct. 25th and 26th, 2007.
The general topic of the conference will focus on the geology of the Alps
and Apennines, that were the common ground for many important studies of
Tonino and Gaetano. Contributions on modern developments in structural
geology, tectonics and geodynamics are particularly welcome, but the
results of multidisciplinal approaches on the relationships between
tectonics and sedimentology, basin development, magmatism and seismicity
will also be much appreciated.
A number of renowned scientists of international reputation, with
considerable experience on italian geology, has agreed to contribute with
keynote address lectures. It will be shown that structural geology,
tectonics and geodynamics have made significant progresses in the last
decades; nevertheless, many ideas contained in the contributions of Gateano
and Tonino are still original and up to date.
Attached, and below, you will find the necessary preliminary information.

ALPS AND APENNINES: A NATURAL LABORATORY FOR STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND
GEODYNAMICS
May 2006 was a sad month for the italian geological community, for the
sudden losses of Gaetano Giglia and Tonino Decandia. Gaetano and Tonino
graduated in Geological Sciences at the Institute of Geology and
Paleontology of the Università di Pisa around the mid 1960s. They had
started their geological research activities together, through fruitful and
frequent exchanges of experience and ideas. The developments of their
academic careers had brought them far apart in Genova and Siena,
respectively, where they had been appointed to teach geology. Tonino and
Gaetano were amongst the first researchers to make systematic use of
conventional and modern techniques of structural analysis in the study of
tectonic and orogenic problems of the italian territory. Thanks to their
achievements and recognitions, they were elected to cover positions of high
responsibility within prestigeous academic and scientific institutions.
Amongst other recognitions, they were both members of the Council of the
Società Geologica Italiana, and pioneers and founders of the Gruppo
Italiano di Geologia Strutturale.
This 2-day international meeting is organized to honour the memory of these
uncomparable Maestri. The general topic of the conference will focus on the
geology of the Alps and Apennines, that were the common ground for many
important studies of Tonino and Gaetano. Contributions on modern
developments in structural geology, tectonics and geodynamics are
particularly welcome, but the results of multidisciplinal approaches on the
relationships between tectonics and sedimentology, basin development,
magmatism and seismicity will also be much appreciated. Contributions will
be presented as oral communications or poster displays. A number of
renowned scientists of international reputation, with considerable
experience on italian geology, has agreed to contribute with keynote
address lectures. It will be shown that structural geology, tectonics and
geodynamics have made significant progresses in the last decades;
nevertheless, many ideas contained in the contributions of Gateano and
Tonino are still original and up to date,
