Session ID#: 12897

Session Description:
The Mediterranean area, from Gibraltar to the Caucasus offers an outstanding opportunity to investigate the long-lasting geological record of complex intraplate deformation and plate boundary re-configuration. 

Interactions among major and smaller plates and the presence of subduction zones at different evolutionary stages provide opportunity for multi-disciplinary studies of the past and modern Mediterranean system, addressing the connection between deep and surface processes.

Topical questions include long-term evolution of a convergent plate boundary, and the relations between slab and mantle dynamics, magmatic and metamorphic processes, strain partitioning in the lithosphere and surface evolution. 

We invite contributions from different and multi-disciplinary perspectives ranging from the surface to the mantle and based on geology (tectonics, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleomagnetism and geomorphology), geophysics (seismicity, seismic imaging and anisotropy), geodesy and modelling (numerical and analogue).
