Apologies for potential cross-postings

We would like to draw your attention to session T34 - "*Exhumation of  
High and
Ultra-High Pressure Rocks: the Cross-Disciplinary View*" at the AGU Fall
meeting 2008, and encourage you to submit an abstract before  
September 10th.

This session aims to provide a collaborative forum for research into the
mechanisms by which continental and oceanic HP and UHP terranes are  
detached
and exhumed, with emphasis on how these processes can be  
substantiated by the
rock record. Contributions are sought from the broadest possible  
range of
geoscience disciplines, from the latest generation of numerical and  
analogue
models, through modern advances in geochronology and geochemistry, to  
the
newest structural syntheses, geophysical datasets, geomorphological
correlations and petrological research. Exhumation processes  
profoundly affect
the evolution of collisional orogens, and by integrating predictions  
from
laboratory studies with data from field investigations we hope to  
collectively
address outstanding questions and identify innovative avenues for future
inquiry.

Student contributions are actively encouraged and AGU travel grants  
may be
available (deadline 10th Sept).  See:
