[IRIS] AGU Session T02: Geophysical Structural Studies of East Asia

[IRIS]

Please note the following special session for the Fall 06 AGU meeting:

T02: Understanding the Structure of East Asia From Seismic, Gravity,  
GPS, and Electromagnetic Methods

This session focuses on research relevant to analyzing and imaging  
the structure of East Asia. This part of the world, including many  
sedimentary basins, orogenic provinces, and the Tibetan Plateau, is  
one of the most tectonically active and complex areas recently opened  
to broad, cooperative study. Data, new inversion techniques, and  
modeling approaches that are applied to this region, and associated  
results, are invited. We welcome presentations examining a broad  
range of properties including electrical, electromagnetic, gravity/ 
density, GPS, seismic velocity, attenuation and other geophysical  
characteristics, with results and interpretations illuminating not  
only current observable features but also enhancing the state of  
knowledge regarding tectonics and tectonic history of the region.  
Contributions of work ranging from local to regional in scale are  
encouraged.
