On the 50th anniversary of the advent of the paradigm of plate tectonics, this three day meeting is convened to examine the state of the art and scope out new directions.
This call for papers is for contributions that complement the array of invited speakers – reporting recent research on any aspect of tectonics and the associated disciplines that together feed into understanding the plate system and processes.
Contributions are invited for talks and posters.
The deadline for abstract submission is 31 May 2017 but we encourage submission and registration as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Please complete the Abstract submission form (under Downloads) and return to Naomi Newbold.
The abstract should be approximately 500 words and should include a title and acknowledgement of authors and their affiliations where possible.
Please indicate if your abstract is for a poster or oral presentation.
The conference will be drawn to a close by the 2017 William Smith lecture, delivered by Dan McKenzie.
