Joint conference

International Dyke Conference (IDC 8)-Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs 8)-Rodinia 2023 Conference

As part of its activities to promote scientific research, the Faculty of Science Semlalia and the Faculty of Science and Technology, Guéliz, Cadi Ayyad University, organize jointly in Marrakech, “Joint Conference IDC 8- LIPs 8-Rodinia 2023” from 29th May to 16th June 2023

It is the first time that three geology associations organize together such a conference in Africa. The themes addressed in this joint-conference will be related to magmatism and geodynamic events trough the earth history. The flyer congress attached and Website: https://marrakech.sciencesconf.org/ presents ample information on the topics addressed.

International Dyke Conference (IDC 8)

The Eighth International Dyke Conference (IDC8) will concentrate on mafic dyke swarms and related igneous associations, e.g., sills, kimberlites, syenites, carbonatites, volcanics, etc., with a special emphasis on paleogeographic reconstruction based on geological comparison and paleomagnetic studies. The IDC8 continues the every-five-year tradition started in Toronto, Canada in 1985 by Prof. Henry C. Halls (University of Toronto). Subsequent IDCs were held in Australia (1990), Israel (1995), South Africa (2001), Finland (2006), India (2010), and China (2016).

Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs 8)

The Large Igneous Provinces conference series was launched in 2007 in Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia by Prof. Alexander Borisenko and colleagues, and continued in 2009 – Novosibirsk, Russia; 2011 – Irkutsk, Russia; 2013 - Hanoi, Vietnam; 2015 – Irkutsk, Russia; 2017 - Chengdu, China- Tomsk, Russia; 2019. The early conferences (2007-2015) were focused on the LIP record of Asia, but the Tomsk and the current focus is more global. The Eighth LIPs conference will again cover all aspects of this rapidly expanding field.

Rodinia 2023

The Rodinia conference series began in the form of Tectonics Special Research Centre symposia (1998-2005) that morphed into dedicated Rodinia conferences in Edinburgh, Scotland (2009); Moscow, Russia (2013); and Townsville, Australia (2017). The planned Rodinia meeting herein will continue this tradition and join forces with the other conference series noted above.

In celebration of all these diverse geological records, spectacular rock exposure, fascinating culture, and friendly people, we invite you to join us in the “Geological Paradise” of Morocco in 2023!
