[Geodynamics] IGC 2020 in Delhi, India | Session "Advances in the Extensional Tectonics of Continental Margins"

[Sascha Brune]

Dear colleagues,

The 36th International Geological Congress (IGC) is taking place from 2nd to 8th of March 2020 in Delhi, India. The 287 sessions/symposia of the scientific program cover all disciplines of geological sciences https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/A_A3CzvOWKiZD8mxF4XwFe?domain=36igc.org <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/A_A3CzvOWKiZD8mxF4XwFe?domain=36igc.org>. The IGC is a global event that takes place every 4 years, the most recent ones have been held in Capetown, South Africa (2016), and Brisbane, Australia (2012).

I take this opportunity to invite you to submit an abstract to our session/symposium:

Advances in the Extensional Tectonics of Continental Margins (5.1)
Session description: Rifted margin segments feature a large structural variety in terms of general architecture, distribution of surface strain, crustal and lithospheric thinning in time and space, as well as the amount of sedimentation, magmatism and serpentinisation. It is clear that rift evolution is governed by the interplay of rheological configuration, tectonic inheritance, melting tectono-magmatic interaction, rift velocity, extension obliquity as well as surface processes and climate interaction, but the relative importance of these controls differs between individual margins. This symposium will address new data sets and methodologies that advance our understanding about the structure and dynamics of rift margin formation.

Abstracts
Abstracts can be submitted online at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-vnSCANZvPiX0r1nf8xxJq?domain=36igc.org <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-vnSCANZvPiX0r1nf8xxJq?domain=36igc.org> and are free of charge until 15th September 2019. Afterwards the abstract fee will be 20 USD with a final submission deadline of 15th October 2019.

Travel support
This year’s IGC involves GeoHost, a support program designed to enable 1000 young or financially disadvantaged geoscientists to attend the IGC. Find out if you are eligible here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/4qGsCBNZwLirqPlMSNx7rg?domain=36igc.org <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/4qGsCBNZwLirqPlMSNx7rg?domain=36igc.org>.

Registration
The Super Early Bird registration ends already at the end of this week (31st of August). For the Early Bird you still have a bit of time (30th of November 2019).
