Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting abstracts to the following session at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting:
T031: Observations and models of multiphase deformation in rifts and rifted margins

Session Description:
Observations from rifts and rifted margins suggest continental extension commonly involves multiple phases of deformation with distinct structural, sedimentary and magmatic characteristics. In many rifts, deformation evolves both as a function of time and location, and rift architecture may reflect the influence of structural inheritance, evolution of the lithosphere’s thermal-mechanical profile, feedbacks between surface process and lithospheric deformation or large-scale changes in plate driving forces. Here, we solicit presentations that examine the long-term evolution of continental rift systems through field, geophysical and numerical investigations. In particular, we encourage submissions that focus on the processes driving changes in deformation style and use large 3-D observational or numerical data sets to characterize lithospheric deformation.
Invited Speakers:
Donna Shillington (Columbia University)
Robert Gawthorpe (University of Bergen)
Conveners:
Rebecca Bell (Imperial College London)
Scott Bennett (USGS)
