Dear all, this is the first announcement of “Alpine Ophiolites and Modern Analogues”, a three-days international workshop organized by the Italian Working Group on Mediterranean Ophiolites. It will be held on September 30 to October 2, 2009 in Parma, ITALY. Abstract and registration deadline is July 3, 2009 The Workshop aims at discussing multidisciplinary aspects related to continental rifting and formation/evolution of an oceanic basin, based on studies from MORB-type Alpine ophiolites and their modern analogues, i.e. magma-poor passive margins and slow-to ultra-slow spreading ridges. The Workshop consists of three days of oral/poster presentations. Two optional field excursions on Ligurian ophiolites (September 28-29) and Lanzo Peridotite Massif (October 3-4) are also planned. The oral presentation schedule will include some key-note lectures by H. Dick, M.Cannat, B. Ildefonse, G. Manatschal, O. Müntener, B. Tucholke.
