Name
S11 - Integrating Geological Data with Geophysical Constraints in Tectonics, Resource Exploration and Geo-Environmental Studies
Description
Geophysical methods can detect 3-D spatial variations in physical (magnetic, electrical, seismic, density) properties can be integrated with geological and geochemical observations to elucidate geological structures at scales ranging from near-surface to the deep lithosphere and beyond. Additional methods, including paleomagnetism integrated with geochronology, extend geophysical capabilities to providing 4-D constraints on geological processes. This session welcomes contributions of case studies, theoretical work and larger syntheses devoted to the application of geophysical methods to geological problems in areas including, but not limited to, tectonics, resource exploration, and geo-environmental studies.
