SE12. Thermogeochronology, erosion and tectonic movements: from measurements to physical modelling:

Event Information

Erosion and tectonic movements are expressions of combined effects of dynamic feed-back relation between crustal and surface processes. Since tectonic and surface processes interact and operate at a continuum of temporal and spatial scales earth scientist of various disciplines increasingly use quantitative geomorphic and thermogeochronologic techniques to develop, test and validate geodynamic models. This symposium encouragesd cross-dicplinary efforts from many direction for - quantitative constraints on rates and length scales of erosional an depositional processes in different tectonic environments, - modelling of non-linear dynamics of erosion processes at geological time-scales, and of interactions between erosion and tectonics - analogue modelling of tectonic movements, erosion and deposition patterns.
