T13C:
Orogenic Evolution from the Middle Crust to Earth's Surface I Posters


Session ID#: 10779

Session Description:
The evolution of orogenic middle crust is a hot topic in mountain belts around the world, both ancient and active.  Examples of ongoing investigations about orogenic middle crust are the timing of melting relative to burial and exhumation, causes and styles of exhumation, and contributions to creation, maintenance, and destruction of thick crust and high elevations.  Interest has been driven by advances on a number of fronts, including better elucidation of pressure-temperature paths, more robust dating of points on the pressure-temperature paths, more accurate and faster detrital zircon dating, more representative computational and analog modeling, more accurate surface mapping, clearer subsurface imaging, and recognition of links between climate and middle crustal evolution.  We invite contributions from researchers engaged in all of these disciplines as well as others not listed.  This session will provide a forum for comparison of processes inferred from a variety of different orogens.
