Please note abstract submission cutoff is 2359 UT on September 10.<br><br>T02: Lithospheric Structure of East Asia<br><br>Conveners: Youshun Sun, MIT (<a href="mailto:youshun007@yahoo.com">youshun007@yahoo.com</a>)<br> Charlotte Rowe, Los Alamos National Lab (<a href="mailto:char@lanl.gov">char@lanl.gov</a>)<br><br>This session focuses on research relevant to analyzing and imaging the lithospheric structure of East Asia. This part of the world, which includes many sedimentary basins and orogenic provinces, is one of the most tectonically active and complex areas in the world and is actively perused with broad scale, internationally-cooperative studies. Data, new inversion techniques, and modeling approaches which are applied to this region, and associated results, are invited. We welcome presentations examining a broad range of lithospheric properties including electrical, electromagnetic, gravity/density, 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.<div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
