Dear folks we would you like to draw your attention to an interdisciplinary session proposal made by me, Iole and Anna Maria at the next SGI-SIMP joint congress of Catania.
We are sure that the possibility to share experiences in the fields of the numerical data modeling and of the thermodynamic modeling can open new and more interesting perspectives finalized to the metamorphic evolution of the collisional belts.
The deadline is on May 21. We look forward to seeing you in Catania on September 12th.
Cheers, Gaetano, Iole and Annamaria
P13. Tectono-metamorphic processes from micro-scale to plate margins: Geological, Geophysical and Petrological approaches in unravelling the evolution of metamorphic terrains in collisional belts
Proposers: Gaetano Ortolano (Univ. Catania), Anna Maria Marotta (Univ. Milano), Maria Iole Spalla (Univ. Milano)
The recent development in the numerical quantification of geological processes has opened new and interesting frontiers, which are tracing new interdisciplinary routes particularly useful in the unravelling of the orogenic tectonic processes. The investigation of the metamorphic terrains, backbone and skeleton of the collisional belts, surely represents an active interaction gym between those geoscience disciplines able to integrate geological, geophysical and petrological processes in a synergic framework, which focuses on the numerical modeling in the broader meaning of the term: from the micro- (e.g. thermodynamic modeling, diffusional processes, geospeedometry) up to the lithospheric-scale (e.g. thermo-mechanical models). The proposed session therefore intends to compare new methods developed in the field of numerical modeling for the study of tectonic and metamorphic processes with data obtained via thermodynamic modeling based on a detailed textural study, increasingly anchored to objective numerical parameters, such as those arising from numerical elaboration of X-ray images. Multidisciplinary contributions of geological, geophysical and petrological nature are also welcome as well as innovative methods in each of the above fields.
