Previous Meetings & Activities

22-24 November 2022, King Island, Tasmania
Details: The SGSTG is holding our biennial meeting at King Island to discuss the latest research and developments in tectonics and structural geology. The meeting aims to help geoscientist throughout Australia exchange ideas about their science. The fantastic coastal exposures and the diverse geology will be explored through 3 half day excursions. The meeting is constrained by accommodation and flight availability so will it be small (<60 people) and informal. This meeting was postponed from February 2022 due to covid

18-22 November 2019, Port Lincoln, South Australia

The conference was a joint effort with the Specialist Group in Solid Earth Geophysics, and brought together ~120 delegates from Australia and overseas. 8 Keynote Talks were presented by 4 overseas and 4 Australian expert speakers, and there were 78 presentations plus 3 poster sessions. Themes included Multi-scale structures and fluid-rock interaction;  Experimental Studies in Rocks and Structure; Geodynamics and Thermodynamics; Plate margin and intra-plate orogenesis; Observational Geophysics; The Australia-Antarctic Connection; Tectonic controls on mineral systems; and Domes, basins and dynamic topography. The conference included a mid-conference field trip to see the spectacularly exposed Paleoproterozoic structural geology of the southern Eyre Peninsula. The conference was notable for the impromptu response to a major bushfire emergency, which was concluded safely, but will long live in the memories of all who came.

8-12 November 2017, Denmark, Western Australia
The conference bought together the research community in structural geology and tectonics within Australia and internationally to discuss the latest research and developments in these fields. The conference included a mid-conference field trip to see spectacular local geology.
