Registration is free, and we encourage as many of you to attend and support this event. The conference will be a great opportunity to discuss new approaches in geoscience education across all levels (including primary/high school, TAFE, university, etc.). The sponsors have been very generous in supporting the event (including the School of Geosciences and Faculty of Science for hosting the event), so we hope that there will be a large number of attendees. The abstracts are due by 7 July, and registration closes on 21 July. I attach the second circular, as well as the abstract template. Abstract are to be e-mailed to Kelsie Dadd (kelsie.dadd at sydney.edu.au) as Word documents, and you can register through this Eventbrite link. I will post updates and the latest information on the official AUGEN2017 page: https://www.earthbyte.org/augen-2017/ I have tried to contact one person from each university (but have inevitably missed some), so please forward this information onto your colleagues ? thanks in advance! We look forward to seeing many (and hopefully ALL) of you in early August! Apologies for cross-posting.

The deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, 2nd of August. T007: Continental Rifts and Passive Margins: Geology, Geophysics, Geodynamics https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session22111 This session invites contributions on rifts and rifted margins that integrate new data sets, approaches or viewpoints. Studies can range from the outcrop to the basin or lithospheric plate scale, and include global examples. Innovative concepts and techniques based on field geology, seismology, geodesy, marine geophysics, plate reconstructions, geochemistry, sedimentology, or modeling are encouraged. Topics may include but are not limited to fault dynamics, shear zones, tectono-magmatic and sedimentary processes, impact of volatiles, the continent-ocean transition, influence of mantle dynamics and surface processes, and the role of tectonic inheritance. We particularly encourage submissions that explore along-strike structural and magmatic variations in rifts and passive margins linked to 3D modeling studies. Emphasis will be given to presentations conveying an integrated picture by bridging spatial or temporal scales, or by combining results from active rifts, failed rift arms, passive margins or fossil rifted margins exposed in mountain belts.

Deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday August 2nd. T042: The evolution and architecture of rifts and rifted passive margins: from mantle dynamics to surface processes https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session23397 The formation of rifted continental margins by extension of continental lithosphere leading to seafloor spreading is a complex and still poorly understood component of the plate tectonic cycle. New observations and modelling allow us to investigate the underlying processes. Key questions to be resolved include 1) factors controlling geometry and crustal architecture or rifted margins, 2) controls on the structural style of rift and passive margin formation 3) factors controlling the 3-dimensional geometry of rifts and passive margins, 4) processes responsible for anomalous vertical motions during basin evolution, 5) fundamental controls on the magmatic or a-magmatic nature of rifts and passive margins, 6) interaction between surface processes, tectonics, and climate during rift-passive margin evolution. We encourage abstracts that offer new insights into crustal and lithospheric architecture and processes underlying rift-passive margin formation as well as smaller scale studies of individual sedimentary basins, using constraints from observations and modelling. We are looking forward to meeting you in New Orleans!
