Inverness 2017

DRT 2017 was hosted at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness (Scotland), and it was organised by the Tectonics group of the University of Aberdeen. This 21st edition kept the tradition of DRT focusing on the study of the deformation behaviour, rheology of minerals, rocks and materials, and tectonics. At the same time, the conference emphasized discussions on the geophysical expression of deformation processes, including a component of applied structural geology.
