| Abstract |
Funds are provided to hold a MARGINS' Theoretical and Experimental
school where "Rheology and Deformation of the Lithosphere at Continental
Margins" will be the topic of deliberations. Communication between
experimentalists and theoreticians is essential to design experiments
to address the broader implications raised by macroscopic field
observations on the one hand, and small-scale laboratory findings
on the other. The workshop will foster cross-disciplinary inquiry
into rheology and deformation of the lithosphere. The workshop will
consist of a 4-day short course followed by two days of discussions
during which a science plan will be fleshed out for this discipline.
The funds will pay for full or partial travel of 50 participants
to the workshop, but the total number of attendees are expected
to be as much as 95 scientists from various subfields of geology
and geophysics. |
