IMAGinING RIFTING Season 2: Biarritz
The next IMAGinING RIFTING workshop will be held in Biarritz (France) from the 20th (evening) to 25th (mid day) of October 2019.
Following the success of the first edition organized in September 2017 in Pontresina, this second edition also aims at gathering cutting edge Earth scientists in a pluridisciplinary meeting on rifted margins and extensional settings more generally.
Gathering geologists and geophysicists from both Academy and Industry, this meeting aims to trigger discussions that are at the forefront of the present-day research.
Program
The workshop will be open to 45 participants max. In addition to invited keynotes (list to come), other geoscientists will be welcome to attend the workshop through a short contribution (short 5′ talks and/or poster).
The workshop will be articulated around:
- 30′ keynote presentations on key topics triggering current research on rifting processes (mechanisms of lithospheric thinning, rift-to-drift processes, magmatism, sedimentation, thermal evolution…)
- Discussion sessions / roundtables between all participants
- Field trips in the nearby Mauléon and Basque-Cantabrian inverted hyper-extended rift Basins.
The list of keynote speakers and provisional program will be available as soon as possible.

Each participant should propose a contribution as a poster and/or a short 5′ talk format to actively contribute to the discussions. Deadline for Application is April 12.
