V., 2000, Pressure-temperature evolution of metamorphic rocks: records of a dynamic earth: (www.humboldt- foundation.de/de/aktuelles/index.htm). 2.7. Activities involving other IGCP projects or the IUGS N/A 3. Activities planned 3.1. General goals. In the year 2002 we plan to continue the debate over the issues concerning the origin and evolution of the Caribbean plate (Boston meeting Nov. 2001), with special emphasis in the plate boundaries in Central America (Guatemala meeting) and the Lesser Antilles Barbados meeting). 3.2. Specific meetings and field trips (please indicate participation from developing countries) Geological Society of America Annual Meeting. Novenber 1-10, 2001. At the request of the IGCP and the GSA, we shall participate in the Annual Geological Society of America Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. We have been invited to present papers at the GSA Topical Session “Focus on IGCP: Modern and Ancient Plate Boundaries and Orogens”. Participation of Cuban, American, and other delegates will be partially supported by the project. Motagua Fault Zone, Guatemala. January 28-31, 2002. The project will hold a Workshop and Field Trip to the Motagua Suture Zone of Guatemala. This event is being organized by the Italian-Caribbean Group, with the kind co-operation of the Sociedad Geologica de Guatemala and other Guatemalan institutions. Motagua suture zone in Guatemala is part of the northwestern boundary of the Caribbean plate and an important onshore segment of the Caribbean plate boundary. The project will partially support the field transportation and the participation of delegates from Cuba, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Venezuela and USA. 16 th Caribbean Geological Conference. June 16-21, 2002. The project will hold a Workshop and Field Trip during the 16 th Caribbean Geological Conference, in Barbados, BWI. The purpose of this Workshop and Field Trip is to study and evaluate further the Lesser Antilles island arc, the easternmost boundary of the Caribbean plate. The project will support the field trip by covering the transportation expenses, and will support participants 12
to the meeting from Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Venezuela , Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, USA, and other countries. 4. Project funding requested. We will need the maximum possible funding in order to allow the participation of Latinamerican members of the project to the annual meeting in Barbados, as well as the other planned activities. 5. Request for extension, on-extended-term-status, or intention to propose successor project N/A 6. Attach any information you may consider relevant 6.1 INTERNAL ORGANIZATION 13 The project is organized into several working groups. The leaders are Manuel A. Iturralde-Vinent (Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Obispo no. 61, Plaza de Armas, La Habana 10100, Cuba; Email iturralde@mnhnc.inf.cu) and Edward G. Lidiak (Dept. of Geology & Planetary Science, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15260, U. S. A.; Email egl+@pitt.edu). WG-1. Coordination Group. Leaders of the project and leaders of the working groups will integrate and coordinate the efforts of the membership of the project, organize meetings and workshops, keep the web page updated, and promote the accomplishments and goals of the project. WG-2. Positioning of major plates: Jurassic to Recent. This group will evaluate existing models for the break-up of Pangaea and the evolution of the major plates surrounding the Caribbean (NOAM, SOAM, FARALLON, NAZCA, COCOS, etc.) from Jurassic to Recent. As a result they will provide the other working groups with a modern framework for the reconstruction of the Caribbean area. WG-3. Positioning of terranes of Northern South America. This group will define plates, blocks and terranes, will identify the palinspastic evolution, historic position and relationships, and produce sets of time-framed reconstructions of the tectonic position of these terranes. WG-4. Positioning of terranes of Southern North America. This group will define plates, blocks and terranes, will identify the palinspastic evolution, historic position and relationships, and produce sets of time-framed reconstructions of the tectonic position of these terranes. WG-5. Positioning of terranes of the Greater Antilles. This group will define plates, blocksnd Paleomagnetic control of the historic position of terrenes, plates and subduction 13
