Invitation
We are pleased to announce that the Geophysical Laboratory (Carnegie
Institution of Washington), Bayerisches Geoinstitut (Bayreuth
University), and the Institute for Study of the Earth's Interior
(Okayama University) will co-sponsor the fourth in a series of topical
symposia. The meeting will be held in a
newly built convention center in Kurayoshi, western Japan, from
October 2 - 5, 2001. The theme of the meeting is "Transport of
Materials in the Dynamic Earth". There
will be six topical sessions with keynote and invited lectures for
each session to be provided by experts in the field. Contributed
papers will mainly be presented by posters, but the organizers will
ask selected papers be also given in short talks in the discussion
period.
We are soliciting abstracts of the papers for the meeting, which will
be assembled into an abstract volume. Abstracts should be no longer
than two pages in length in A4 format, including figures and
references. The abstract can be submitted electronically, either
through home page or by email. Detailed instructions for abstract
preparation and submission as well as instructions for poster
presentation are given below.
