Relevant aspects include continental riftıng, ocean spreading, subduction, ophiolite genesis, arc magmatism, ophiolite emplacement and continental collision. Contributions may draw on a range of subjects areas including geochemistry, metamorphism, sedimentation and geophysics. Papers that focuses on fundamental tectonic-related processes and which develop and test alternative tectonic hypotheses are particularly welcome. Preliminary List of Solicited Speakers E.
