Overview
The Structural Geology and
Tectonics Forum is a new
meeting that hopes to combine the best of “Tectonic Studies Group”
meetings (UK, Australia)
and “Deformation, Rheology, and Tectonics” (European) meetings. It is an
informal specialist meeting focusing on research, with the goal of
providing an environment for discussion of ongoing research and testing
new ideas. It is aimed at professional geologists, although advanced
graduate students are encouraged to attend.

Organization
Please click on the link for the current
schedule. If you submitted an abstract and it is not listed or if
you discover another issue with the schedule then please email Richard
Becker at rabecker2@wisc.edu.
Additional posters are encouraged, so if you are not already presenting
and have a poster from a previous conference, feel free to bring it to
the forum. If possible, email Richard
its title and abstract. For posters created specifically for this
conference we are recommending a size of about 3 feet vertical by 6 feet
horizontal, but we will do our best to accommodate all poster
sizes. Nutritious lunches and snacks will be provided by the forum
to keep participants onsite and happy – if you have food allergies or
other dietary restrictions you may wish to email Richard
as well.
