Call for Abstracts – Advances in Marine Geology and Geodynamics and their Application to Understanding Ancient Metallogenic Terranes
iMAGE-CREATE is sponsoring a special session at this year’s GACMAC2025 in Ottawa, Ontario. We invite abstract submissions for the Special Session – Advances in Marine Geology and Geodynamics and their Application to Understanding Ancient Metallogenic Terranes
Session Summary
The present-day oceans provide a natural laboratory to observe the structural, kinematic and magmatic history of oceanic and arc crust, which comprise a significant proportion of greenstone belts and accreted terranes. Details of the spatial and temporal relationships of crustal growth observable in modern oceans are lost during terrane assemblage and associated deformation and metamorphism. This session will highlight studies of current processes of crustal growth in the oceans using modern marine geophysical datasets, collected during ocean-going expeditions, by regional monitoring and satellite missions, together with sampling of the seafloor, to understand the tectonic evolution of different domains of oceanic and arc crust. We invite contributions that use these datasets to advance our knowledge of marine geological processes and apply what is learned to ancient metallogenic greenstone belts and accreted terranes. This session is a contribution to ongoing studies in the CFREF Metal Earth and the NSERC CREATE program in Marine Geodynamics and Georesources (iMAGE).
Abstract Deadlines:
Early abstract submission from December 2nd 2024 to February 2nd (cost: $40)
Late abstract submission from February 3rd to February 16th 2025 (cost: $60)
