Dear Geodynamics community,
we would like to draw your attention to a new session focussing on the evolution of cratonic lithosphere that will be hosted at next year's EGU,
GD 7.2 - Evolution of cratonic lithosphere: Variability, geodynamic interactions and resource potential
Inputs of multiple disciplines are essential to address this fascinating and multifaceted topic. This session welcomes therefore contributions from a wide range of disciplines, which include, but are not limited to, seismology, gravity and magnetic studies, geodynamics, tectonics, geochemistry, and petrology.
Would you be interested in submitting an abstract, we invite you to read the session description below for more details.
We are happy to have Graham Pearson and Heather Bedle as keynote speakers in our session.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at EGU,
Peter Haas, Nicolas Celli and Andrea Tommasi (Conveners)
Session description:
Cratons form the ancient, stable cores of most of the Earth’s continents. Knowledge about the present-day architecture of cratons is the key to understand the evolution of continental plates. In addition to that, cratons concentrate many economically relevant mineral deposits, which are indispensable for a modern society. For many cratonic regions however, little is still known about the present-day lithospheric structure and how it evolved since the Archean, mainly due to their remoteness and harsh local environmental conditions. Ongoing data acquisition, as well as the usage and optimization of remote and passive techniques have shed new light on the lithospheric architecture of cratonic regions. Recent advancements across several disciplines show that cratons are more varied and fragmented than previously assumed, which has strong implications for geodynamic interactions with the convective mantle and long-term stability.
In this session, we welcome contributions across different scales that describe the cratonic lithosphere and its evolution with time, up to the dawn of plate tectonics. We aim to address topics like: characterization and evolution of cratonic crust and lithosphere; coupling between cratonic crust and mantle; mechanisms to form, maintain and destroy cratonic roots; craton-plume interaction; the role of cratons in supercontinent configurations; connection of cratons to mineral deposits.
We would like to raise discussions within a multidisciplinary session and therefore welcome contributions across a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to geodynamics, geology, tectonics, seismology, gravity, geochemistry, petrology, as well as joint approaches.
