3 sessions on paleoseismology and earthquake-triggered mass movements at 19th Int’l Sedimentological Congress

The 19th International Sedimentological Congress from 18 to 22 August 2014 in Geneva, Switzerland will see three sessions related to subaquatic paleoseismology and earthquake-triggered landslides and turbidites.

• S1: Subaquatic paleoseismology: records of large Holocene earthquakes in marine and lacustrine sediments
• S5: Sedimentology of extreme events
• S7: Turbidity current, subaqueous mass flow and mass movement processes – recent insights and future research directions

More sessions on tectonics will be held as well. Deadline for abstract submission and travel grant application is 30 April 2014.
