Chapman Conference on theThe History and Dynamics of Global Plate Motions

June 17-22, 1997
Marconi Conference Center in Marshall, California

Cosponsors:
NSF Cooperative Studies of the Earth's Deep Interior
Joint Oceanographic Institutions
United States Science Support Program

Conference Site

The Marconi Conference Center, situated on 62 acres of wooded hills overlooking scenic Tomales Bay, is Northern California's premier meeting facility. Administered by a non-profit corporation and situated in a State Historic Park, Marconi offers conference facilities and accommodations that are conveniently located within a comfortable drive of the San Francisco/Bay Area, and provides an atmosphere of serenity and concentration without a sense of isolation.

Conference Format

The conference format will consist of seven sessions of poster presentations, summary talks, discussions, and evening tutorials.

A viewing of the scheduled poster presentations will begin each session, followed by a 45-minute summary talk. After the break, an extended discussion session will take place during which poster presenters may make short (1-3 slide or viewgraph) presentations of their ideas and results. An evening tutorial will be presented at the end of each day, except Friday, highlighting a specific topic of plate motions. All sessions will be held in Buck Hall of the Marconi Center. Preregistration fee includes admission to all sessions, daily refreshment breaks, lunch each day, and admission to the ice-breaker reception on Tuesday evening.

Cosponsorship

AGU gratefully acknowledges the Cooperative Studies of the Earth's Deep Interior, Joint Oceanographic Institutions, and the United States Science Support Program for supplying generous grants used for conference and travel support.

Participant Information

Lunch is provided for all registered participants of this meeting and will be served in the Redwood Dining Hall. Please refer to the Scientific Program for scheduled times. Breakfast and dinner will be provided for only those participants who are staying at the Marconi Center. A list of nearby restaurants is provided in the back of this program.

Field Trips

Field trips to the Franciscan Complex and the San Andreas Fault System will be led by John Wakabayashi and Tim Hall. These field trips will explore this fault system to view some of the consequences of 160 million years of active plate margin tectonics. Participants of these field trips are encouraged to attend the field trip preview on Thursday evening at 5:30pm.
