The year 2010
August 18-20,
2010:
Final Annual
Meeting at the University of Helsinki. Papers will be solicited to cover all the
main fields of IGCP-510: (1) Petrogenesis of the A-type granites; (2)
Metallogenic significance of the A-type granites; (3) Granite typology; and (4)
Relation to lithospheric evolution.
August 14-18, 2010:
Four-day pre-conference field trip
will examine new targets in the Wiborg rapakivi granite batholith area, both
off-shore and on mainland Finland. These include mixed (wiborgitic)
fayalite-hastingsite granites and quartz monzonites in the southern part of the
batholith (Gulf of Finland); anorthosites, leucogabbroids, ferrodiorites, and
granites of the Ahvenisto complex (northern flank of the batholith); a
supracrustal (quartzite-basalt-rhyolite) sequence in a megaxenolith embedded in
rapakivi granite (northwestern part of the batholith); iridescent labradorite
rapakivi granites in Ylämaa (east-central part of the batholith), and topaz
granites in the west-central part of the batholith.
