International conference : Perigondwanian orogenies, from Variscan to Indosinian
Orogeny, witnessing of the activity of the Earth and documenting its evolution, is one of the key elements to understand how the Earth functions. For this reason, the study of mountain building is one of most ancient domains in geosciences. Among the well-known orogens, the perigondwanian ones that developed from the Neoproterozoic to Mesozoic gave rise to numerous belts such as Variscan, Indosinian, Cimmerian throughout Western Europe to Far East Asia are among the most important and studied ones.
In order to exchange new results obtained from different disciplines, and in honor of his scientific contribution to the understanding of orogenesis during the last 40 years done by Michel Faure, the “Institut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orléans”, associated with the Société Géologique de France will organize an international conference on “Perigondwanian orogenies: from Variscan to Indosinian”. This meeting will provide the opportunity for geoscientists from numerous countries to discuss up-dated geological understanding, to establish new research objectives in this domain, and to reinforce international collaborations.
