Description:
The trip aims to provide a brief outlook on the processes occurring in orogenic root domains on the example of the Bohemian Massif in Austria.
Special focus will be given to deformation structures occurring in rocks of different composition and rheology. The excellent exposures in the Bohemian Massif gives a great opportunity to study the interplay between chemical changes and deformation processes in the lower crust.
Additionally the high amount of migmatisation in some areas of the Moldanubian domain allows for studying the influence of melt on deformation processes.
The field trip is especially addressed to early career scientists (ECS) taking part at the EGU general assembly in order to give them the opportunity to, not only discuss tectonic and metamorphic processes in the field, but also to meet new people and build up a network for the conference.
The number of participants is limited to 18.
This trip is financially supported by EGU!
