5th Regional Meeting on Quaternary Geology dedicated to Geohazards, Croatia

Our colleague Petra Jamšek Rupnik from the Geological Survey of Slovenia sent us this interesting meeting announcement. The conference will focus on geological hazards, including active tectonics in Croatia and adjacent areas. Plus, there will be an interesting field trip to Croatia and Slovenia:

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 5th Regional Scientific Meeting on Quaternary Geology dedicated to Geohazards to be held on November 9-10, 2017, in Starigrad-Paklenica, Croatia. The meeting also includes the final conference of the LoLADRIA Project “Submerged Pleistocene Landscapes of the Adriatic Sea”.

Topics include geological hazards, Quaternary stratigraphy, sedimentology, limnology, modern and past glacial and periglacial environments, geomorphology, geoarchaeology, geoheritage and geoconservation.

The meeting will be preceded by a 3-days field trip from Slovenia to Croatia (November 6-8, 2017) and followed by a 2-days field trip in Croatia (November 11-12, 2017), both covering the related topics.
