[CIG-ALL] AGU Session: Tectonics of Alaska

[Margarete Jadamec]

Dear Colleagues,

We draw your attention to and encourage abstract submissions to this
exciting session on revisiting the tectonics of Alaska at the upcoming 2015
AGU Fall Meeting.

*Session Title: T037. Revisiting the Tectonics, Regional Structure, and
Geodynamics of Alaska and the North Pacific*

The Pacific-North American plate boundary in Alaska is in the scientific
spotlight now because of the spectacular geology and tectonic processes
preserved and ongoing in the region, and the major financial investment by
the National Science Foundation through EarthScope and GeoPRISMS. It is
timely to review the available data and tectonic-geodynamic models, as
several major new scientific efforts are now in their infancy. Certain
tectonic components have a first order effect, including the impact of the
subduction of the Yakutat terrane, and the role of lithospheric
heterogeneity from broad scales to more localized zones of weakness, such
as the Denali fault. In this diffuse plate boundary, active deformation is
partitioned across a large area, including related tectonic systems in
Canada and Russia. We welcome submissions using observational and modeling
studies relevant to the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone and the North
Pacific region, including new work and review or integrative submissions.

Invited Presenters:
Ken Ridgway (Purdue University)
Carl Tape (University of Alaska, Fairbanks)
Gene Yogodzinski (University of South Carolina)
Julie Elliot (Purdue University)

Abstracts are due August 5th. The Session ID is: 9027. Please find more
