Hutton’s yet another notable concept was the ‘Theory of Uniformitarianism’ a belief that the geological
forces at work in the present day, barely noticeable to the human eye, still immense in their impact, are the
same as those that operated in the past. The rates of erosion or sedimentation of today are similar to those of
the past, making it possible to estimate duration it took to deposit sediments of certain thickness. Hutton’s
theory of Uniformitarianism was contrary to the contemporary school of thought called catastrophism, the belief
that only natural catastrophes, such as the flood account for the form and nature of a 6,000-year-old Earth.
In 1788, James Hutton wrote, “From what has actually been, we have data for concluding with regard to that
which is to happen thereafter”. This idea was developed later by Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) and Archibald
Geikie (1835-1924) into an endurable concept ‘The Present is the Key to the Past’. James Hutton is,
therefore, referred to as the “Father of Modern Geology”.
International events known as Hutton Symposiums are conducted every four years in different parts of the
world, ever since the First Hutton Symposium held at Edinburgh in 1987. Hutton Symposiums have become
synonymous for symposium on the ‘Origin of Granites’, a concept perceived, propagated and practised by
James Hutton. Scientists from across the globe converge at Hutton Symposium venues to discuss and propagate
the origin of granites in the parts of the globe which they studied.
Around 1768 he moved to Edinburgh, where a visitor a few years later described his study lab as “so full of
fossils and chemical apparatus that there is hardly room to sit down.” In a paper presented in 1788 before the
Royal Society of Edinburgh, a newly-founded scientific organization, Hutton described a universe very different
from the cosmos: one formed by continuous cycle in which rocks and soil are washed into the sea, compacted
into bedrock, forced up to the surface by volcanic processes, and eventually worn away into sediments once
again. Hutton concluded that “The result of this physical enquiry is that we find no vestige of a beginning,
no prospect of an end.” As evidence Hutton cited a cliff at Siccar Point where vertical layers of gray shale
and overlying horizontal layers of red sandstone could be explained by the action of forces over gaps in time.
Hutton realized that after deposition the gray shale was uplifted, tilted, partly eroded and then covered by
an ocean which deposited red sandstone; the boundary between the two Siccar rock formations is now called
‘Hutton Unconformity’. Hutton theorized that the subterranean heat as evidenced by hot springs and volcanoes
creates high pressures and temperatures deep within the Earth leading to chemical reactions that generated
the ‘granites’, besides associated other rocks. He formulated that internal heat causes the crust to warm and
expand, resulting in the upheavals that form mountains.
Limited information on the types, geochemistry, radiometric data and origin of the granites of India had emerged
from the international events of Hutton Symposium on the ‘Origin of Granites’. It is necessary that the Indian
granites are studied and the results of the study highlighted prominently as is done in Hutton Symposiums. With
that objective and aim the current conference is convened.
Hutton India Conference
Hutton India Conference is expected to be a platform to firm up and concretize information on the ‘Origin of
Granites’ and to bring classical examples of ‘Present is the Key to the Past’ in Indian Context. This Conference is
aimed at bridging the existing global information on these two aspects with the information that would emerge
in the Indian context. Hutton India Conference will be held on Sunday, the 27th November 2016 at Badruka
College, Kachiguda, Hyderabad, Telangana.

James Hutton lived between 3 June 1726 OS (14 June 1726 NS) and 26 March
1797. Hutton studied medicine and chemistry at the Universities of Edinburgh, Paris
and Leiden, the Netherlands, and then spent fourteen years as a farmer in small
family farms. Hutton began to devote his scientific knowledge, his philosophical James Hutton
turn of mind and his extraordinary powers of observation to a subject that had

he explained geological processes with logic and reasoning. Hutton was the first to
believe that Earth was perpetually getting formed, as for example, molten material extrude as volcanic flows,
later eroded as sediments and are washed away so as to form thick sedimentary sequences. He recognized that
the history of Earth could be determined by understanding how processes such as erosion and sedimentation
work in the present day. During examination of the rock formations, Hutton discovered that sedimentation
takes place so slowly that even the oldest rocks are made up of “materials furnished from the ruins of former
continents.” The reverse process occurs when rock exposed to atmosphere erodes and decays. He called it as
the “great geological cycle,” and realized that the cycle repeats innumerable times. The phenomenon of decay
is the present ‘weathering’ process.

Hutton’s yet another notable concept was the ‘Theory of Uniformitarianism’ a belief that the geological
forces at work in the present day, barely noticeable to the human eye, still immense in their impact, are the
same as those that operated in the past. The rates of erosion or sedimentation of today are similar to those of
the past, making it possible to estimate duration it took to deposit sediments of certain thickness. Hutton’s
theory of Uniformitarianism was contrary to the contemporary school of thought called catastrophism, the belief
that only natural catastrophes, such as the flood account for the form and nature of a 6,000-year-old Earth.
In 1788, James Hutton wrote, “From what has actually been, we have data for concluding with regard to that
which is to happen thereafter”. This idea was developed later by Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) and Archibald
Geikie (1835-1924) into an endurable concept ‘The Present is the Key to the Past’. James Hutton is,
therefore, referred to as the “Father of Modern Geology”.

Limited information on the types, geochemistry, radiometric data and origin of the granites of India had emerged
from the international events of Hutton Symposium on the ‘Origin of Granites’. It is necessary that the Indian
granites are studied and the results of the study highlighted prominently as is done in Hutton Symposiums. With
that objective and aim the current conference is convened.

request for allotting more time for presentation will NOT be entertained; • Similarly, the authors shall make
their presentations in the allotted time-slot only; no request for modifying / rescheduling the time-slot allotted
by the organizers to the authors will be entertained or allowed under any circumstances. That means, once the
author misses the allotted time-slot, he forfeits his chance for presenting his paper. Therefore, the presenters
have to be present in the halls well on time and report in advance. Their powerpoint presentations will be kept
ready at the time assigned; • The technical Session-I and II will be directly commence at 0800 hrs. Therefore
those participants whose time-slots are allotted in Session-I and II need to be present at least 15 minutes before
(at 0745 hrs) the commencement of these sessions. The presenters in other sessions also need to be present
in the halls in which their presentations are assigned at least 15 minutes before the commencement of the
sessions; • The Questions-and-Answers will be archived. Question length is restricted to 100 words in written
form. All the question(s) will be passed on to the respective speakers / authors who shall reply each question
raised in writing in not more than 200 words. The Q-A part of each paper will be accommodated at the end of
the paper; • There will be no valedictory meet or panel discussion at the end of the conference. Conference
will close with a 10-minute Joint Acknowledgement session; • Various technical sessions, their timing and the
time-slot for the papers are attached as accompanying MS-Excel sheet. The authors will be intimated their
paper number, session number and time-slot when their papers are accepted; • Organizers’ decision on the
selection or otherwise of papers and conference design is final; no suggestions or request for changes in these
will be entertained.
Registration Procedure
• There is No Registration Fee for the Conference. The organizers do not charge anything from the participants,
authors and anyone attending the conference. The attendance to the conference is also free, but the attendees
shall inform the registration officials in advance and obtain id-numbers, so that seating arrangements can be
made to them; • The authors can bring any number of their co-authors also for participating in the conference,
without paying any charge to the organizers; • The conference is open for all, but prior registration through email
to Registration officials is essential. The authors, participants and attendees will be given identification tokens
with assigned numbers and names which will be downloaded by them and brought at the time of attending the
conference; • The organizers do not provide any registration material or kit to participants; • The participants
shall not communicate with [email protected] email id, which is only for submission of papers and
abstracts. No other communication, including request for registration, will be entertained in this email id.

Around 1768 he moved to Edinburgh, where a visitor a few years later described his study lab as “so full of
fossils and chemical apparatus that there is hardly room to sit down.” In a paper presented in 1788 before the
Royal Society of Edinburgh, a newly-founded scientific organization, Hutton described a universe very different
from the cosmos: one formed by continuous cycle in which rocks and soil are washed into the sea, compacted
into bedrock, forced up to the surface by volcanic processes, and eventually worn away into sediments once
again. Hutton concluded that “The result of this physical enquiry is that we find no vestige of a beginning,
no prospect of an end.” As evidence Hutton cited a cliff at Siccar Point where vertical layers of gray shale
and overlying horizontal layers of red sandstone could be explained by the action of forces over gaps in time.
Hutton realized that after deposition the gray shale was uplifted, tilted, partly eroded and then covered by
an ocean which deposited red sandstone; the boundary between the two Siccar rock formations is now called
‘Hutton Unconformity’. Hutton theorized that the subterranean heat as evidenced by hot springs and volcanoes
creates high pressures and temperatures deep within the Earth leading to chemical reactions that generated
the ‘granites’, besides associated other rocks. He formulated that internal heat causes the crust to warm and
expand, resulting in the upheavals that form mountains.
James Hutton lived between 3 June 1726 OS (14 June 1726 NS) and 26 March
1797. Hutton studied medicine and chemistry at the Universities of Edinburgh, Paris
and Leiden, the Netherlands, and then spent fourteen years as a farmer in small
family farms. Hutton began to devote his scientific knowledge, his philosophical James Hutton
turn of mind and his extraordinary powers of observation to a subject that had

he explained geological processes with logic and reasoning. Hutton was the first to
believe that Earth was perpetually getting formed, as for example, molten material extrude as volcanic flows,
later eroded as sediments and are washed away so as to form thick sedimentary sequences. He recognized that
the history of Earth could be determined by understanding how processes such as erosion and sedimentation
work in the present day. During examination of the rock formations, Hutton discovered that sedimentation
takes place so slowly that even the oldest rocks are made up of “materials furnished from the ruins of former
continents.” The reverse process occurs when rock exposed to atmosphere erodes and decays. He called it as
the “great geological cycle,” and realized that the cycle repeats innumerable times. The phenomenon of decay
is the present ‘weathering’ process.

International events known as Hutton Symposiums are conducted every four years in different parts of the
world, ever since the First Hutton Symposium held at Edinburgh in 1987. Hutton Symposiums have become
synonymous for symposium on the ‘Origin of Granites’, a concept perceived, propagated and practised by
James Hutton. Scientists from across the globe converge at Hutton Symposium venues to discuss and propagate
the origin of granites in the parts of the globe which they studied.

Hutton’s yet another notable concept was the ‘Theory of Uniformitarianism’ a belief that the geological
forces at work in the present day, barely noticeable to the human eye, still immense in their impact, are the
same as those that operated in the past. The rates of erosion or sedimentation of today are similar to those of
the past, making it possible to estimate duration it took to deposit sediments of certain thickness. Hutton’s
theory of Uniformitarianism was contrary to the contemporary school of thought called catastrophism, the belief
that only natural catastrophes, such as the flood account for the form and nature of a 6,000-year-old Earth.
In 1788, James Hutton wrote, “From what has actually been, we have data for concluding with regard to that
which is to happen thereafter”. This idea was developed later by Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) and Archibald
Geikie (1835-1924) into an endurable concept ‘The Present is the Key to the Past’. James Hutton is,
therefore, referred to as the “Father of Modern Geology”.
