Intramountain Basins – Decoding feedbacks between tectonics, climate, and biota
Convener: Nevena Andrić-TomaševićECSECS | Co-convener: Oleg Mandic
Intramountain Basins are essential components of the mountain ranges. As such, they serve as crucial recorders of deformation, deposition, erosion, volcanic events, topographic changes, regional and global climate changes, and biotic evolution and organism dispersal. Therefore, their sedimentary successions and fossil record offer valuable insight into connections, interactions, and feedback mechanisms between tectonics, climate, and biota.
We encourage contributions using multi-disciplinary approaches focusing on intramountain basins and their sedimentary successions for retrieving information about (1) depositional dynamics, (2) climatic, tectonic and/or biotic evolution and interaction and (2) orogen dynamics. Contributions are welcome from field observations, subsurface studies, and physical and numerical modelling studies across all temporal and spatial scales. We look forward to receiving contributions focusing on intramountain basins in various tectonic settings such as the Andes, North American Cordillera, Dinarides, Apennines, Caucasus, Tibet, Anatolia, etc.
