[Geolalumni] Structure/Tectonics Forum reminders

[Bernard Housen]

Hello GeoPeople,
I am writing with a reminder (or last minute opportunity as the case may be) of a fun geoscience meeting that the Geology Department is hosting in late June:

The deadlines for abstracts and registration are coming up soon- so please consider attending.

I will be following up to Geology Alumni and faculty about a reception we will hold, concurrent with this meeting, on Tuesday June 25, so please stay tuned for that message too.

All the info is below- thanks, and have a nice Thursday!

Bernie

Link to meeting information: 2024 Structural Geology and Tectonics Biennial Forum, June 24-27, Bellingham WA<https://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/structure/2024_Forum/index.html>

Abstract submission is now open.
Field trip, workshop, and housing registration opens April 22.
Abstract and registration deadline June 3

Initiated in 2010, the SGT Biennial Forum is a grass-roots meeting of Structural Geology and Tectonics researchers, with the goal to advance research and training in our discipline.  The small meeting size, residential format, and shared meals foster community and cross-fertilization of ideas from researchers in different institutions and across career stages.

This year we are organizing the meeting around themes connecting to research opportunities in the host region:

  *   subduction zone geology
  *   deformation of mafic and ultramafic rocks
  *   collisional and transpressional orogens neotectonics & earthquake geology
  *   magnetic fabrics and other records of deformation,
  *   field-geology instruction.
We also welcome contributions on other topics, and we will adjust the final program to reflect the abstracts submitted.

Field trips include: Accreted oceanic rocks in the San Juan Islands; the Twin Sisters dunite quarry; and Skagit Gneiss Complex, North Cascades
Workshops include: A practical approach to magnetic fabrics; informal hands-on workshop on ultramafic rocks; and StraboSpot community input session

Field trip(s) and workshops will run on Monday (June 24) and Thursday (June 27). The plenary sessions (posters, talks, panel discussions, demos) will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday (June 25 and 26).

We look forward to seeing you in beautiful Bellingham in June!
