Session title:

T10. Tempo of Arc Emplacement and Accretion

Organizers:

Elisabeth Nadin (U.of Alaska – Fairbanks), Chad Hults (National Park Service), and Erin Todd (USGS)

Session description:

Modern intra-oceanic arc systems (IOASs) have diagnostic features depending on their age. Re-assembling these features can be quite difficult in accreted IOASs, which have often undergone prolonged and complex tectonic histories. We welcome submissions that help clarify the nature and timing of arc assembly and accretion in modern and ancient settings.

Confirmed invited presenters:

Sue Kay (Cornell U.)

Jeff Amato (New Mexico State U.)

Craig Hart (U. British Columbia)
