T82. Unveiling the long-lasting evolution of active margins from field to micro-scale

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Active margins, which allow the deciphering of many long-lasting geological processes, probably represent the most complex type of plate boundaries. They inspire significant global interest for pure research geologic purposes, as well as for economic geology. They can be investigated within a wide variety of tectonic environments, such as subduction zones, collisional orogens, volcanic arcs and back-arc basins and extensional settings as well. All possible variables, combined with the geological complexity of these tectonic settings, require an interdisciplinary-integrated approach from field to numerical modeling, from microstructures to thermodynamic modeling.
In this session, we welcome contributions dealing with multidisciplinary studies, both in the brittle and ductile realm, encompassing field mapping, multiscale structural geology, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, thermochronology, and numerical modeling, aiming to unravel the evolution of orogenic belts (both in the compressional and extensional phases) and the implications for regional tectonics.
