[Geoinfo] Last Call for Abstracts: PRECAMBRIAN SUPERCONTINENTS at AGU Meeting in IGUAZU

[Augusto Rapalini]

Dear Colleagues:
    We are just five days from deadline to submit your abstract to the 
next AGU Joint Assembly. In particular we would like to call your 
attention and invite you to contribute to session GP17 "Precambrian 
Supercontinents" that will be held during the AGU Joint Assembly 
"Meeting of the Americas" in Foz do Iguazu (Iguassu Falls), Brazil, from 
August 8th to 13th, 2010. The session is co-sponsored by the 
"Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism",  the "Volcanology, Geochemistry and 
Petrology" and the "Tectonophysics" sections of AGU.

Deadline for submission of abstracts is March 31st

A brief outline of the section follows:

GP17.  Precambrian Supercontinents
Different Precambrian supercontinents have been recently proposed. 
Whether or not they ever existed, and their configuration and 
paleogeographic evolution, are essential to reconstruct Earth history 
and the long-term dynamics of the Mantle. Tectonostratigraphy, 
geochronology, and paleomagnetism are the primary methods used to 
reconstruct Precambrian supercontinents, and entities such as Rodinia 
and Nuna/Columbia are solvable with adequate geologic record, precise 
dating, and high quality paleomagnetic data. We welcome contributions 
from different techniques aimed at solving Precambrian paleogeographic 
puzzles and their relationships to deep Earth processes.

The scientific program of the meeting and other details can be found on 
the AGU website: (http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja10).

We look forward to meeting you in Brasil

David, Augusto, Umberto and Ricardo
