From field observations on eclogites towards modeling of deep subduction processes: 7th International Eclogite Conference (IEC-7) and First Workshop of Task Group Ⅱ-10 of International Lithosphere Program

摘要

The 7th International Eclogite Conference was held in Seggau, near Leibnitz, Austria, from July 3-9, 2005, and was accompanied by inter-conference and post-conference field trips to the Tauren Window of the Alps. The Conference provided a comprehensive scientific forum in the spirit of previous conferences of this series with extended contributions related to high- and ultrahigh-pres-sure metamorphism, and ultra-deep subduction of continental material to Earth's mantle. The first workshop of the new Task Group Ⅱ-10 (UDCCS—Ultra-Deep Continental Crust Subduction), under the auspices of International Lithosphere Program, was held in conjunction with the conference. The Task Group Ⅱ-10 was established in 2005 to be continued to 2009. The conference was organized by Karl Franzens University of Graz, Austria, and supported by the following sponsors: Bundesministerium fur Bildungund Kultur, Fa. Bruker-AXS, Fa. Olympus, International Lithosphere Program, Land Steiermark Abteilung fur Wis-senschaft und Forchung, Osterreichische Mineralogische Gesellschaft, Raiffeisen Landesbank Steiermark and the University of Graz.
