Young Researchers in Structural Geology and Tectonics

 

 Sicily, 30 June - 4 July 2022

The meeting will take place in Sicily on 30 June - 4 July 2022. 

Please, stay tuned! 

 

A 5-day meeting that provides an immersive environment for early career scientists studying tectonics and structural geology to get together in an informal setting. The meeting involves conventional oral and poster presentations together with field excursions designed to stimulate discussion.

The island of Sicily straddles the edge of the Maghrebian thrust belt (part of the greater Alpine system) as it runs up against the “foreland” of the African continent. The thrust belt developed through the Neogene as an emergent, largely submarine system that has been elevated by late orogenic “rebound” to reveal exception syn-kinematic stratal successions. We will visit these locations to examine tectono-stratigraphic relationships and the landscape expression of faulting, folding and regional tectonic processes.
