摘要
This workshop and pre-workshop fieldtrip were organized by the Institute ofGeology and Mineralogy,Siberian Branch,Russian Academy of Sciences(SB RAS)andco-sponsored by the Presidium of the SiberianBranch of the Russian Academy of Science(SB RAS),Centre for Russian and CentralEurAsian Mineral Studies(CERCAMS),andTask Force 1(ERAS)of the InternationalLithosphere Program(ILP).This waspreceded by a field excursion to Gorny Altayin Southwestern Siberia(June 20-28,2010),which,in the literature,is also referred to asMountainous Altay or Russian Altay.Thefield excursion and the workshop attractedeighteen participants from 8 countries,namely Germany,England,Japan,China,France,Czech Republic,Poland and Russia.The main goal of this workshop was todiscuss the general evolution of the CentralAsian Orogenic Belt(CAOB)with a specialemphasis to the problems of continentalgrowth,evolution of palaeo-oceans and activecontinental margins,collisional tectonicsand metallogeny based on results of previousfield missions and analytical research.Thiswould contribute to our understanding of the Late Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic evolutionof the Altay belt and to establish up-to-datemodels of ocean closure,continentalaccretion/assembly and intracontinentalorogeny.
