Short Course in Structural Geology and Tectonics of Hokkaido
January 23, 2017 | in Field work, TeachingAn interesting post-grad student training course will be held from 26 June – 7 July, 2017, at Hokkaido University:Structural Geology and Tectonics of Hokkaido: Geometric principles, and the relationship between active and ancient deformation.During this course you will learn how geologic structures, developed from microscopic to map scale, reflect the rates, directions, and mechanics of past and contemporary plate tectonics and deformation. You will also hone your three-dimensional perception and skills through practical applications. -
Tectonic Studies Group field trip to Death Valley, April 2017
The Tectonic Studies Group (TSG) will organise a field trip to Death Valley in April 2017. The trip will be of particular interest for those who wish to learn more about tectono-volcanic processes, tectono-sedimentary processes, and the Basin and Range/ San Andreas system.
The trip is being organised and delivered by Phil Benson & Derek Rust of the University of Portsmouth. more

New Latin American Association of Tectonics – 1st Symposium on Southamerican Tectonics
The Latin American Association of Tectonics has recently been founded in order “…to help the exchange of ideas and facilitate collaborations of tectonic studies in South America. The Latin American Association of Tectonics consists of researchers from universities and institutes interested in South America tectonic studies, and regarding Andean or pre-Andean tectonics.” See their website here. They organise the 1st South American Tectonic Symposium to take place from 16-20 November, 2016, in Santiago (Chile). The event will be held at the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Mathematics, University of Chile in Santiago, Chile. more

New papers on paleoseismology, tsunami, and active tectonics (Sep 2016)
September 8, 2016 | in Paper, UncategorizedToday’s paper round-up has lots of tsunami papers, including one on the use of DNA to decipher paleo-tsunami deposits. Also, we have some papers about Italy, even from the area of the 24 August Amatrice earthquake. Enjoy reading and please don’t hesitate to tell me which papers I’ve missed.

New papers on paleoseismology and active tectonics (August 2016)
August 8, 2016 | in PaperIt’s a busy summer for me with lots of field work going on, but there’s still time to read the latest papers on paleoseismology and earthquake geology. Here’s my latest paper round-up. No tsunami papers this time, I am sorry. Enjoy reading and as always, please don’t hesitate to tell me which papers I have missed.

Open position: Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Active Tectonics, Univ. Oxford
June 10, 2016 | in JobsThe University of Oxford is looking for a PostDoc research assistant under the direction of Professor Richard Walker and Professor Philip England to work on active tectonics in China. The focus is on the Hexi corridor and the Qilian Shan of Gansu. Deadline for application is 15 July 2016.
Tasks include:
- Detailed mapping of palaeo-earthquake ruptures
- Construction of slip distributions from individual earthquakes
- Selection of sites for long-term slip-rate determination using field investigations, high-resolution satellite imagery and digital topography
- Planning and carrying out fieldwork to verify remote-sensing observations, to collect samples for dating, and to excavate and interpret palaeo-seismic trenches
