The South China Sea session (OS007) in the coming 2013 AGU Fall meeting will
focus on the lastest approaches of the South China Sea Deep program and the
IODP Expedition 349 (Tectonics of the South China Sea). Welcome to contribute
the session with all aspects of new data, new ideal, synthesis, and what else that
will benefit the session. Remind that the deadline of the abstract submission is on
6 August 2013.

Description:
The evolution of the South China Sea (SCS) is linked to the continental-oceanic interaction of the Eurasian, Pacific and Indo-Australian plates. Despite its small size and short history, the SCS has undergone a complete
Wilson cycle from continental breakup to seafloor spreading to subduction. This session
provides a platform for international community to present investigations and new insights
of multi-disciplinary processes of the SCS, including: 1) tectonics and volcanism; 2) sedimentology;
3) physical oceanography and paleoceanography; 4) biogeochemistry and microbiology.
It will also provide a forum for discussion of multi-disciplinary sciences during the upcoming IODP drilling in the SCS in Jan-March 2014.
