The Aegean region plays an important role in our understanding of geological problems of the eastern Mediterranean region and preserves important records of geological processes which have operated in a zone of convergence. Many examples of metamorphic, magmatic and sedimentary processes and related economic mineral deposits and energy resources of the region have already been extensively studied by earth scientists from around the world. This geological wealth is a consequence of a regional tectonic setting in which several continental blocks were amalgamated via Tethyan subduction events, giving rise to the present configuration of the region. The colloquium will be organized broadly along the lines of several regional geological topics, including tectonics, metamorphism, magmatism, sedimentation, GIS and remote sensing, geophysical research, mining and mineral deposits, energy resources and engineering geology.
