POST-CONFERENCE FIELD-TRIP Thursday 25 - Friday 26 September 2008
FIELD-TRIP REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
Info concerning the end of the field trip:
We plan to leave from the last stop (near Modena) at 4 p.m. and we are thus expecting to reach Florence at around 7 p.m.. However, due the potentially unfavourable traffic contortions some extra delay should be considered and a safe estimate is thus within 8 p.m.
On September 25-26 2008, there is the opportunity to take part in a comprehensive traverse through the Apennines.
This field trip will encompass the whole fold-and-thrust belt, from the Tyrrhenian side to the Po Plain margin.
Topics of interest that will be treated during the field trip
include: metamorphic deformations in the Apuan Alps, analysis of thrust systems in the Apennine chain and Po Plain margin, mud volcanism at the Po Plain-Apennine margin.
