POST-CONFERENCE FIELD TRIP: August 24 - 28, 2011
Title of excursion: Large Igneous Provinces of Southern Siberian craton and adjacent areas of the Central-Asian Orogenic belt
The field trip will be guided by Dr. Sci. Dmitry Gladkochub (gladkochub@mail.ru), Dr.Sc. Andrey Tsygankov (tsygan@gin.bsc. buryatia.ru) and PhD Tatiana Donskaya (Tatiana_donskaya@mail.ru) and their colleagues from the Institute of Earth’s crust and Geological Institute (both of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences).
The field trip will allow participants to investigate following igneous complexes:
-
Paleoproterozoic LIP of post-collisional granitoids related to assembly of the Siberian craton and its incorporation in to Nuna (Columbia) supercontinent;
-
Neoproterozoic mafic dyke swarm (LIP) related to Rodinia breakup (caused by superplume) and Siberia detaching from this supercontinent;
-
Late Paleozoic mafic and felsic LIPs of an active continental margin of the Siberian continent related to Mongol-Okhotsk ocean closure (early stage of the Central-Asian Orogenic belt development) or Mantle-plume produced;
-
Late Mesozoic extenstion-related mafic and felsic LIPs of developed stage of the Central-Asian Orogenic belt evolution;
-
Cenozoic basalts (volcano) of Baikal rift zone.
