ERAS Report for 2006 - Annexure 2 ERAS International Workshop on Accretionary Orogens and Continental Growth from the perspective of global mass circulation (Circular – 3 July 2006) Time: Sept 19 to 22, 2006 Place: Kochi Univ. Convention Center, Kochi (conference meeting) and central Shikoku and Inuyama (field excursion) Conveners : Kimura Gaku, Dept. Earth and Planet. Sci. The Univeristy of Tokyo Isozaki Yukio, Dept. Integrated Science, The University of Tokyo Santosh M. Dept. Environmental Science, Kochi University Sponsor: JSPS (Japan Society of Promoting Sciences) Initiation and Aims of the workshop: (A) Accretionary orogens are major sites of continental growth and important miner- alization. They have been active throughout Earth history, and the modern circum-Pacific orogenic belts are the most typical of them. This workshop is aimed to discuss the processes for the initiation and development of accretionary orogens, and to better understand the processes responsible for the global mass circulation, cratonization and incorporation of accretionary orogens into continental nuclei. (B) The Japanese islands represent an excellent example of Phanerozoic accretionary orogeny and continental growth. The proposed field excursion will allow the participants to examine the geological evolution of East Asia. (C) An international project “ERAS (EaRth Accretionary Systems in space and time)” has been submitted to the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) for approval. The ILP is an important program of the IUGS and IUGG (International Unions of Geological Sciences and Geophysical Sciences of ISU). This workshop will have an important publicity campaign for the project itself as well as for the
2 promotion of scientific activity of Japan. (D) All invited speakers are heavy-weights in this research domain. Their participation and the timing of the workshop (to be held in the same place and the same time as the annual meeting of the Geological Society of Japan )will certainly attract a large group of audience. (E) We anticipate about 100 attendants at this meeting (but not the field excursion, which is limited to about 30 participants). Besides the local participants, the invited attendants come from Australia, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Korea. We expect that our young researchers will greatly benefit from the highly animated discussions provided by the international leading experts during the meeting. We will also give ample opportunity for our young scientists to exchange their ideas about on-going or pertinent research with the experts. Status of the workshop preparation (as of 3 July 2006): (A) The workshop comprises two parts: a one-and-a-half-day conference in the University Conference Center at Kochi, followed by a 2-day field excursion in central Shikoku and Inuyama area, central main island. (B) A full-day conference (May 19) will be allocated to invited talks on the type localities of world’s accretionary orogens. Different approaches (field-based, structural, geochemical, isotopic, geophysical, etc.) will be presented to address the orogenic processes and crustal growth. Differences between accretionary and collisional orogens will be underlined. (C) A half-day conference (May 20 morning) will be used to present the current models and interpretations on the geological evolution of the Mesozoic East Asia, as well as a brief introduction on the geology of the Japanese islands. This should form a good preparatory overview for the following 2-day field excursion. Provisional schedule (Sept. 18 to 22, 2006) Sept. 18 Monday – arrival of participants. All participants will be transported and lodged in the Hotel. Registration of the participants, Ice breaker Sept. 19 Tuesday – first day of the workshop 9h00 to 12h00 – morning talks on accretionary orogens 12h00 to 1300 – lunch 13h00 to 16h30 –afternoon talks on accretionary orogens 16h30 to 17h00-brief introduction of field excursion
