Dear Colleagues,

This is the first announcement for GeoMod2008, an international
conference on geological modelling (analogue and numerical) to be held
in Florence, Italy from 22 to 24 sept. 2008.  

Website of the meeting: www.geomod2008.org
(first circular available at:
www.geomod2008.org/geo_modelling_1st_circular.shtml)

The conference represents a follow-up of the two successful meetings
held in Milan (RealMod2002) and Lucerne (GeoMod2004) and will offer the
opportunity to bring together researchers (from universities and
industries) who deal with modelling of geological systems. The main
topics of the conference will include: Rheology and Tectonics, Mountain
Buildingand Thrust Systems, Subduction Zones, Lithospheric Extension,
Basins and Sedimentary Budget, Surface Processes.

Location: the conference will be held in Villa La Pietra, a beautiful
historical villa located on one of the foothills surrounding Florence
(see attached Google earth link).  Villa La Pietra houses the famous
Harold Acton Art Collection and one of the most beautiful gardens in
Italy. Website:
