The proceedings of the Eleventh International Basement Tectonics
Conference is part of a major series of publications dealing with
intraplate tectonics. The Eleventh Conference, held in Potsdam,
Germany, presents aspects of the basement tectonics of Eastern and
Western Europe; the first time they have been assembled in one
meeting. Internationally recognised experts in a variety of fields
review broad, key, integrative aspects of major fields which
contribute to the understanding of the European basement and to
geophysical methods of basement analysis. The book focuses mainly
on the structure and history of the entire European continent. The
recent political reorganisation of Europe has helped to promote
several international programs aimed at understanding the deep
basement of the European continental features. Accordingly, the
majority of the papers included in this volume deal with different
aspects on the structure and evolution of the European continent
and its various orogenic belts and postorogenic features. Topics
range from modelling of the thermal evolution of basement rocks,
fabrics in deformed rocks, and geophysical features of basement
units to intrusion and concomitant deformation of the basement.
Similar aspects are addressed in further chapters focusing on other
Phanerozoic cratons and are grouped around topics of current
interest: the problem of extrapolation and correlation of
geological and geophysical data from basement rocks, and the
mechanisms of basement exhumation in the evolution of orogenic
belts.
The Eleventh International Conference on Basement Tectonics was
held at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam in Germany 25-29 July
1994. It was the first time that a meeting of this series took
place in the centre of Europe and the first such meeting in this
area after the recent political changes in eastern Europe.
Consequently, the main theme of the meeting focussed on the
structure and history of the entire European continent. Further
themes were grouped around topics of current interest. Keynote
lectures on these topics were given by A. Berthelsen, St. Mueller,
A. Green, and D. Fountain. The technical sessions were arranged
with support of the Scientific Committee on the following topics:
1. Continental scale features of basement rocks of phanerozoic
cratons - with emphasis on Europe 2. Extrapolation and correlation
of geological and geophysical data from basement rocks: an
assessment 3. Mechanisms of basement exhumation in the evolution of
orogenic belts 4. Structure and intraplate deformation of the
North-American craton Papers submitted to this volume have however
all been collected in one part since all of them deal with
different aspects of deformation of the continental basement. A
second part contains a complete list of all papers and posters
presented at the meeting. Field trips to study some of the above
mentioned aspects in the Harz mountains, the Granulite Massif, and
the Erzgebirge were organized by P. Bankwitz, P. Frischbutter, 1.
Rotzler, K. Rotzler, and B. Mingram. Their assistance is gratefully
acknowledged.
