MEETING EMPHASIS. WEGENER was established in the early 1980s, and today has three main scientific objectives: -to study the three-dimensional deformations and gravity along the African-Eurasian plate boundaries and in the adjacent deformation zones in order to contribute to a better understanding of the associated geodynamical processes; -to monitor the three-dimensional deformations in a large region centered around Fennoscandia in order to determine the magnitude and extent of the present-day postglacial rebound in that area thereby extending our knowledge about the viscoelastic properties of the Earth; -to investigate height and sea-level variations in order to identify and separate the processes contributing to these variations. All researchers working on different areas related to those objectives are invited to participate in the WEGENER 2000. Besides the presentation of papers in the scientific areas of interest to WEGENER, the scientific program will include invited as well as contributed papers. A Second Announcement, with details of the Program as well as the dead line for submission of abstracts, will be sent on February 2000, only to those who return, not later than 20 January 2000, the attached pre-registration form, via ordinary or electronic mail,to the address wegener@roa.es You can find additional information at http://www.roa.es/wegener.html WEGENER 2000 Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada Cecilio Pujazon s/n 11110 San Fernando (Cadiz) SPAIN Tel: 34 956 599367 Fax: 34 956 599366 E_mail: wegener@roa.es http://www.roa.es/wegener.html Since I am submitting this first circular via different email address lists, you can receive it more than once.
