GeoMod2008 pre-conference workshop on analogue and numerical modelling of crustal processes

The GeoMod2008 pre-conference workshop discussed challenges related to modelling of crustal deformation processes and took place on Sunday 21 September 2008 at Villa la Pietra in Florence. More information on the GeoMod2008 meeting can be found at http://www.geomod2008.org/index.shtml
