The National ILP Committee of Finland organizes the Lithosphere 2016 Symposium at the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), Espoo, Finland on Nov. 9-11, 2016. This is the 9th symposium on the Structure, Composition and Evolution of the Lithosphere in Fennoscandia. The symposium is aimed for all geoscientists working with problems of the lithosphere in general, and the Fennoscandian lithosphere in particular. The language of the symposium is English.

Symposium themes:

• Fennoscandian lithosphere from upper crust to asthenosphere
• Precambrian and Phanerozoic evolution of the Fennoscandian lithosphere
• 3D and 4D modeling of lithospheric structure and dynamics
• Orogenies: Structure, deformation, magmatism and metamorphosis
• Neotectonics, seismicity, deglaciation and postglacial uplift of Fennoscandia
• Natural resources and metallogeny
• Scientific drilling projects in Fennoscandia
• Seismic studies of lithisphere structures
• Short communications and briefings on new and on-going projects

The program will consist of oral and poster presentations, and short communications. An abstract volume will be published in the Report Series of the Institute of Seismology at the University of Helsinki (also available in the web). Student posters will be evaluated and the best poster will receive an award.
