Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce the Session 7: "Himalaya, Karakoram and Tibet: the geology and tectonics of a giant orogen" under the Theme T9 (Structural Geology), 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 and participate in the 37th International Geological Congress 2024 and submit your contributions to the Theme T9, Session 7.
 
Theme T9: Structural Geology

Session 7: Himalaya, Karakoram and Tibet: the geology and tectonics of a giant orogen

Continental plates collide and give rise to collisional-related mountains that are some of the most spectacular and dominant features of our Planet. During collision of continental plates, considerable deformation occurs with large scale overthrusting, burial and metamorphism of continental lithosphere. The final anatomy and the shape of collisional belts are highly diverse, due to the interactions of several controlling factors, including the pre-collisional tectonic history, the rate and the angle of convergence, the mechanical strength and thermal state of the involved colliding plates. The youngest collisional system on the Earth is the Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet.
We encourage the submission of multidisciplinary contributions, dealing with the reconstruction of the tectonic architecture, at different scales (from satellite to micro-and nanoscale), the tectono-metamorphic evolution integrating leading edge petrological–numerical modelling, petrochronology and thermochronology, of the Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet system.


Keynote Speaker: Prof. John M. Cottle, UC California, USA
Title: Utilizing multi-mineral multi-system petrochronology to unravel the tectonic development of the Himalaya
 
Please give a look to the GeoHost Support Program of the IGC2024 designed to enable deserving geoscientists and geoscience students to attend the Congress whose abstracts have been accepted for presentation. (https://www.igc2024korea.org/content/14400).

See you in Busan!
