[CIG-ALL] GSA Session: T60 An Updated View on Caribbean Tectonics

[Margarete Jadamec]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite submissions to our co-organized session on the
tectonics of the Caribbean at this year's GSA Annual Meeting:



*"T60. An Updated View on Caribbean Tectonics"**Session Description:*
The Caribbean-Central American region is located in an intriguing tectonic
area. Here, the Caribbean plate is bounded to the east and west by opposing
subduction zones, to the north by a strike-slip and extensional boundary,
and to the south by an irregular and quite complicated mix of strike-slip
and possibly subduction. With this session, we aim to bring together recent
geologic and geophysical observations to provide an updated large-scale
tectonic configuration of the region and examine processes from mantle
flow, to tectonic and earthquake cycle behavior, to the timing of the
closing of the Panama isthmus. We welcome contributions from seismology,
geology, volcanology, geodesy, geodynamics and related disciplines to
provide an integrated and updated synthesis of the region.

*Confirmed Invited Presenters:*
Donald Fisher (Pennsylvania State University)
Laurel Collins (Florida International University)
Peter LaFemina (Pennsylvania State University)

Please submit abstracts by *August 11th*, to
