  Information - MPRG7 Crustal deformation and geodynamic reconstruction

Event Information
Deformation in the Earth's thin top shell - the crust - is a consequence of large tectonic forces related to strong interaction with the mantle lithospere and to mantle convection. Large-scale and high-resolution geological, geophysical, and geodetic surveys of crustal deformation reveal the geodynamically significant strain in the crust, which thus is a fingerprint of the processes in the Earth interior. Paleomagnetic surveys play a key role in this context because they record deformation in time and space (including the rotational components of crustal blocks). A comprehensive understanding of deformation in the crust, therefore, requires to embed the paleomagnetic results into a joint interpretation with other geological and geophysical observations.
We invite contributions dealing with large-scale and high-resolution paleomagnetism in combination with comprehensive kinematic approaches (deduced from interdisciplinary studies) as well as contributions which relate the large-scale rotational patterns to mechanical and dynamical processes in the Earth's interior.
