4th, March, 2014. International Symposium "Gondwana and Island arc: Past and Present"

Gondwana included most of the landmasses in today's Southern Hemisphere, including Antarctica, South America, Africa, Madagascar and the Australian continents, as well as the Indian subcontinent, which have now moved entirely into the Northern Hemisphere. One of the most popular theories of continental growth suggests formation of continents by amalgamation of island arcs at the collision zones. Understandably, the geology of island arc systems is of paramount importance to understand the growth and evolution of continental blocks that ultimately joined to produce supercontinents like Gondwana in the earth history. The purpose of this symposium is to exchange views and ideas among researchers working on the Precambrian geology of the continents and the Phanerozoic island arc systems of Japan.
