-----Original Message----- From: Robert Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 4:32 PM To: Hasan Sidi Subject: Asia Oceania Geosciences Meeting: Call for Papers The new Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) is holding its first annual convention in Singapore between 5 and 9 July, 2004 and the Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre. The scientific sessions cover Solid Earth, Oceans and Atmosphere, Space Physics and Planetary Science, Natural Hazards, Interdisciplinary Working Groups, Hydrological Science, Non-Linear Geophysics and Biogeoscience. More information about the conference and AOGS can be found at http://www.asiaoceania.org/confer.html Sessions in the Solid Earth programme are listed at http://www.asiaoceania.org/proposals/se.htm We (Robert Hall and Chris Morley) are convening a session in the Solid Earth programme with the title SUNDALAND: FROM SURFACE TO MANTLE http://www.asiaoceania.org/proposals/se/se16.htm which is intended to be wide-ranging geological discussion of the Indochina-SE Asia promontory. An outline is below. We welcome contributions on any aspects of the geology of this region which would contribute insights into its Cenozoic development. We particularly hope for contributions from industry, and in view of the location of the conference in Singapore hope that petroleum geoscientists from all of the surrounding countries will contribute. Submit your abstract online by logging on to the AOGS website at www.asiaoceania.org/submitabstract/ and follow the steps provided. Please also pass this message on to your associates, friends and colleagues. SUNDALAND: FROM SURFACE TO MANTLE Sundaland is a complex and unusual continental region assembled during the Triassic. Today it includes extensive shallow seas surrounded by subduction and collision zones, and during the Pleistocene it was emergent. It is often assumed to be a region of long-term stability. However, important Cenozoic deformation is recorded in the numerous deep sedimentary basins alongside young elevated highlands. The region has exceptionally high rates of sediment production despite a relatively small land area and low elevation. In size, heat flow, crust and mantle character the region resembles the Basin and Range province or the East African Rift, but is quite unlike them in tectonic setting. We invite contributions addressing the timing, nature and causes of crustal subsidence and elevation, the character and source of sediment filling the basins, and the nature of the crust and mantle beneath the region, which will contribute to understanding the Cenozoic history of this region. ______________________________________ SE Asia Research Group, Department of Geology Royal Holloway University of London EGHAM, Surrey TW20 0EX, U.K. Tel: 44 (0) 1784-443592 Fax: 44 (0) 1784-434716 http://www.gl.rhul.ac.uk/seasia/
