Orogenic Architecture and Crustal Growth
from Accretion to Collision

FIRST CIRCULAR FOR THE FIRST WORKSHOP AND FIELD TRIP IN CHINA
OF IGCP-PROJECT 662
The IGCP-Project 662 “Orogenic Architecture and Crustal Growth from Accretion to Collision” is a new project in the International Geosciences Program (2018-2022) sponsored by UNESCO and IUGS. The project will conduct comparative studies on the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), the world’s largest Phanerozoic accretionary orogen, and the Tethyn orogenic belt, the world’s youngest extensive collisional and metallogenic belt, as well as other relevant orogens. Its main objectives are: (1) to characterize differences in crust formation and architecture between accretionary and collisional orogens; (2) to try to establish criteria to (semi-) quantitatively describe orogenic development through evaluation of the relative proportions of juvenile vs. reworked crust; and (3) to better understand the role of orogenic composition on metallogenesis. This project has two significant links that concerns fundamental Earth science problems. The first is between accretion and collision (e.g., the CAOB and Tethyan belt), and the second between orogenesis and continental growth. This study will expand our knowledge of the relationships between these processes. The project will provide a good platform for researchers on different orogens and in different fields to work together to exchange their ideas and achievements, share results, and publish high-level papers.
The first IGCP-662 workshop and field excursion will be held on 16-22 September 2018 in China. A 5-day pre-workshop field discussion and training course “Field observations and mapping of an accretionary orogen: example from Liuyuan, Beishan, southwestern CAOB, NW China” (16-20 September) will be organized by Cees van Staal and Shoufa Lin (Canada). This field excursion will investigate ophiolites, granitoids, tectonics and crustal growth in the Beishan area of NW China. Participators will be limited to 30 persons. A 1-day workshop (21 September) will follow on the field trip and will be held in the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS), Beijing. It will discuss a research plan for IGCP-662, including annual field and laboratory work and workshops. A 1-day post-workshop training course will be held on 22 Sept. in the Institute of Geology, CAGS, Beijing. It will include: 1) Geochronology: Principles, interpretation and implications (Prof. Alfred Kröner and Yusheng Wan), and 2) Education Geoscience Cooperation as part of the Belt and Road Initiative & International Talents Cultivation in China (Changqian Ma & Jiang Yuan).
