[Geoinfo] Gondwana 14 (Buzios, Brasil): Invitation to submit your abstract

[Augusto Rapalini]

Dear Colleagues:
Deadline is approaching for submitting your abstract and the cheap 
registration (April 30) for the next Gondwana 14 meeting that will be 
held September 25th-30th, 2011, in the coastal city of Armação de Búzios 
in Brazil.

As it is traditional, the Gondwana meetings, that have been held 
regularly since 1970, are an extraordinary forum for high scientific 
discussions and interchange, and to foster cooperation and friendship in 
the study of this supercontinent.

A large variety of great sessions and field trips have been scheduled. 
For details see the Gondwana 14 web 
sitehttp://www.gondwana14.org/index.php .

IN PARTICULAR WE WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION THE FOLLOWING SESSION

ROOM 01
GONDWANA AMALGAMATION
SESSION 2 -- PRE-GONDWANA PALEOGEOGRAPHIC EVOLUTION
Conveners: A.Rapalini (Argentina), R.Trindade (Brazil) and S.A. 
Pisarevsky (Australia)
rapalini en gl.fcen.uba.ar, ritrindad en gmail.com, spisarev en tsrc.uwa.edu.au

Following the proposal of a Late Proterozoic supercontinent known as
Rodinia, almost twenty years ago, significant and continuous increase in 
interest
on the global Proterozoic paleogeographic evolution has not ceased. This has
promoted enthusiastic new research in areas that include more reliable
paleomagnetic reconstructions, accurate geochronology and detailed
stratigraphical and tectonic correlations among different crustal blocks or
cratons. The existence of older supercontinents (Columbia, Nuna, 
Atlantica, etc)
has been postulated since then with some support from scarce and partial
evidence. This session welcomes new data and interpretations, from different
techniques, with the common goal of solving regional to global Precambrian
paleogeographic puzzles and their relationships to deep Earth processes. 
Special,
but not exclusive, attention will be devoted to kinematic and dynamic 
processes
that led from Rodinia fragmentation to Gondwana assembly.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 30th of April 2011.  
Registration for the conference and the field trips is now open.
According to the website Búzios is: "a cozy and charming resort in the 
eastern coastal region of Rio de Janeiro State Brazil. Sixteen beautiful 
beaches compose the sightseeing with amazing outcrops of Cambrian 
gneisses that register the latest orogeny related to Gondwana 
amalgamation. In addition, tholeiitic diabase dykes associated with 
Mesozoic-Cenozoic faults complete the history of Gondwana break up and 
development of the South Atlantic margins. Mild temperatures and dry 
weather in the end of September configure the beginning of spring, with 
flowers and fruits all over".
For details of schedules, registration fees, field trips, and all 
logistics please seehttp://www.gondwana14.org/index.php . Please follow 
the procedures for abstract submission, registration and field trip 
participation as indicated on the website.
The scientific committee is chaired by Rudolph Trouw

Also, please pass this email on to any colleagues that you think might 
be interested.
Thank you for your attention.

Looking forward to meeting you in Buzios
