______________________________________________________________
Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) will hold an international conference
on "Terrestrial Planets: Evolution through time" at Ahmedabad, India
during January 22-25, 2008. The aim of the conference is to provide a
forum for discussion on the present status and future perspectives in
utilizing modern geochemical and isotope techniques to understand the
origin and evolution of the solar system, the chronology and causes of
major events on Earth, past climate, and dynamics of various reservoirs
in Earth. PRL is actively engaged in all these areas of research for the
past several decades and the conference is organized as a part of its
Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. The themes that will be covered in the
conference are:
1) Early solar system and Planetary processes
2) Evolution of the Indian Plate: Precambrian to Recent
3) Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironment
4) Tectonics-Erosion-Climate and Carbon cycle
It has been planned to have plenary addresses covering broad aspects of
each theme and invited talks covering specific topics. A limited number
