37th IGC 2024 Congress - Call for abstract Session 'From microscale to macroscale: multidimensional exploration in Structural geology and tectonics'

Dear Colleagues,

we would like to announce the Session 8: "From microscale to macroscale: multidimensional exploration in Structural geology and tectonics" under the Theme T9 (Structural Geology) at the 37th IGC2024 Congress https://www.igc2024korea.org/ August 25-31, 2024 Busan, Republic of Korea.

The abstract deadline is February 16, 2024.

We warmly invite you to attend the 37th International Geological Congress 2024 and submit your contributes to the Theme T9 and Session 8.
 
Theme T9: Structural Geology

Session 8: From microscale to macroscale: multidimensional exploration in Structural geology and tectonics
Deformation and strain localization in the lithosphere play a crucial role in several processes, spanning from fluid-flow and melt migration, ore deposits formation, earthquake cycles up to large-scale Tectonics and plate kinematics. Primary physical and thermal perturbations usually control the strain localization where rock anisotropies, lattice- and shape-preferred orientations (SPO and LPO) of syn-tectonically re-crystallized minerals may drive the evolution of tectono-metamorphic processes in different tectonics regimes. Understanding intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and their feed-back interactions, leading to deformation and strain localization is a main task in Structural geology and Tectonics. Integrating different scales of structural investigations, spanning from field mapping down to crystallographic preferred orientation analysis, coupled with petrological and petrochronological techniques and numerical modelling are crucial to unravel these factors and their interplay.
Contributions dealing with structural analyses spanning from micro-scale to mega-scale, field geological mapping and global Tectonics are welcome.
