Save the Date! 2024 Structural Geology and Tectonics Biennial Forum, June 24-27, Bellingham WA
We are pleased to announce that the 2024 SGT forum will be held June 24-27 on the campus of Western Washington University.
Initiated in 2010, the SGT Biennial Forum is a grass-roots meeting of Structural Geology and Tectonics researchers, with the goal to advance research and training in our discipline. The small meeting size, residential format, and shared meals foster community and cross-fertilization of ideas from researchers in different institutions and across career stages.
This year we are organizing the meeting around themes connecting to research opportunities in the host region: subduction zone geology, deformation of mafic and ultramafic rocks, collisional and transpressional orogens, magnetic fabrics, and field-geology instruction -- and we welcome contributions on other topics. For each theme, we hope to realize some combination of field trip/workshop, invited talk, volunteered talks and posters, and/or panel discussion. We anticipate field trip(s) and workshops on June 24 and 27 and on-campus meetings (posters, talks, panel discussions, demos) on June 25 and 26.
RSVP here for more information and to indicate your interest. Formal registration will open in February.
