January 30, 2007
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention to a theme session proposed for the 2007 AGU Joint Assembly: Subduction erosion and tectonic underplating along the Central America trench and beyond. This session is anticipated to include subduction erosion and tectonic underplating talks that address present and past crustal structure, petrologic, and tectonic evolution of the Pacific margin of southern Mexico, from the eroded trench to the active magmatic arc. Presentations on modeling results or similar broad research on subduction erosion are very much welcome, and so are examples from other truncated margins elsewhere. Presentations are invited from researchers in a broad range of fields, including but not restricted to: sedimentary geology, petrology, geochronology, geophysics, igneous & metamorphic petrology, and structural geology.
This is theme session T02 for the 2007 AGU Joint Assembly, which will be held in Acapulco, Mexico, 22-25 May 2007. The session chairs, Mihai Ducea and Victor Valencia, invite you to submit abstracts prior to the March 1, 2007 deadline. Submission information and meeting details can be found at:
http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja07/
Please distribute this notice to anyone who might be interested. We are particularly interested in promoting research by graduate and undergraduate students, YOUR graduate students that is. It is difficult to reach out to the active community of graduate students (because it is a fast moving target) – so we ask you, the advisors to encourage them to participate, whether you will attend/present or not. Feel free to contact Victor Valencia or myself if you have any questions, if you wish to request invited status, etc. We look forward to seeing you there.
Respectfully,
Victor Valencia and Mihai Ducea
