The IODP 350 post cruise conference will comprise a scientific meeting and a fieldtrip excursion between the 2nd and 8th of May 2016.

The scientific meeting will be the opportunity to presents our results acquired aboard the Joides Resolution and those obtained in our respective laboratories on samples drilled in the Izu-Bonin rear arc.

We welcome presentations from a large range of topics including rock physics, paleontology, sedimentology, volcanology, mineralogy, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleontology, paleo-environmental studies and geodynamics. More general presentations related to the sedimentary, magmatic and tectonic evolution of arcs are also suitable for this meeting. Several groups of discussion will be organized to plan future research activities and publications.

The field excursion will give an introduction to the geology of Morocco with emphasis on the Neoproterozoic ophiolitic-arc complexes accreted onto the West African craton margin.

Scientific domains : Rock physics, paleontology, sedimentology, volcanology, mineralogy, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, paleontology, paleo-magnetism, paleo-environmental studies and geodynamics
