FIRST CIRCULAR
Invitation & Aim
The present is the key to the past. The study of active arcs is very crucial incharacterizing recent geologic processes as modern analogues in understanding thedifferent processes that occurred in the past. Studying the crust-mantle evolution ofthese active arcs is also very essential in understanding their implications onmineralization, tectonics and geodynamics, among others.
This symposium aims to integrate different research fields such as geophysics,
geochemistry, mineralization, tectonics and paleontology in order to constrain andelucidate crust-mantle evolution in active arc settings. The Crust-Mantle Evolution inActive Arcs 2015 (CMEAA 2015) will be held in the Philippines this February 2015.
This will serve as an avenue for geoscientists from different countries to come together
and discuss their current research and most recent ideas on the evolution andunderstanding of active arcs.
Date & Venue
The symposium will be held in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines from 12-13
February 2015. The month of February brings slightly cooler weather conditions withoccasional downpours.
