摘要
第七届国际岩墙会议于2016年8月在北京召开.会议的主题为"岩墙群——古地理重建的钥匙".大会认为,过去10年,学术界在岩墙群和相关单元区域地质填图,以及通过大型岩墙群等大岩浆岩省进行超大陆/古大陆重建等方面取得了重要成就.另外一些方向是未来几年有发展潜力并可望取得重大进展的领域,如(1)岩墙群/岩床群(杂岩)的侵位机制;(2)岩墙群的岩石成因、构造背景和地质意义;(3)地外星体上的岩墙群和相关建造;(4)岩墙群及相关建造和矿产资源的联系.
The Seventh International Dyke Conference （IDC7） was hosted by the State Key Laboratory of Lithospheric Evolution, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing on August 18-20, 2016. Approximately 140 participants from 19 countries of all inhabited continents attended the meeting. 133 selected abstracts published in Acta Geologica Sinica （Vol 90, Supp 1） are representative of the range of recent advances in the field. The IDCs are the highest-ranked international conferences on dyke research （including geological, geophysical and geochemical aspects）. IDC7 continued the every-5-year tradition started in Mississauga （near Toronto） Canada in 1985, that was inspired by the classic paper of Halls （1982） .
