Post-conference field trip
The Continental Litosphere in Val Sesia
A Journey From the Mantle to the Surface
Sesia Val Grande GeoPark
July 3-4
Embedded Files
This two-day excursion is devoted to visit one of the most spectacular and well-studied crust-to-upper mantle section on Earth, i.e. the Ivrea Verbano Zone along the Sesia Valley. The outcrops consist of peridotites, lower crustal gabbros, migmatites, garnet-bearing granite, caldera breccia, and rift-related sediments. Among the addressed topics will be: Variscan HT metamorphism (amphibolite- to granulite-facies), partial melting, late-Variscan magma emplacement in lower crust, crustal assimilation, Permian magmatism and super-eruption, sedimentation and hydrothermalism during Tethyan rifting.
