Since 2002, the open LASI community gathers scientists interested in shallow-level tabular igneous intrusion. Four international conferences have been held since then, each one with 40-50 participants from 10-17 countries, presenting papers and attending a field trip to tabular intrusions.
This years conference is in Malargüe, Mendoza Province, Argentina, 25-26 November 2019.
The conferences put in evidence the vitality of this research community as well as the relevance of the topic to societal needs such as hydrocarbon and ore mineral exploration, natural hazards, and climate change.
The LASI conferences gather specialists in volcanology, tectonics, structural geology, petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics, exploration geology, and modelers.
