The workshop Land-to-Sea Shaking Studies – Unlocking the full potential of subaqueous paleoseismology at active plate boundaries will be held from 21-24 October, 2025, at National Taiwan University, Taipei. This event is part of the Magellan Plus workshop series and will include keynote talks, orals and posters, breakout discussions, a session on proposal writing, and a field excursion. Check out the website here. You can already register your interestin attending via the online form.
The 2025 Hokudan meeting on active faulting was held online this year from 23-25 January. It was organised by our friend Koji Okumura. The abstract volume is now available for download here: https://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/kojiok/hokudan2025.html. Check it out, there’s some truly cool stuff, for example a trench with a 1700 year-old human skull in it…
The 2025 Hokudan International Symposium on Active Faulting will be held online from 23-25 January, 2025. Abstracts are due December 25th, deadline for registration is January 15th. Please visit the meeting website for the circular and further information: https://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/kojiok/hokudan2025.html. The main theme will be “Active fault research for better preparedness for earthquakes”. Another session will commemorate the eminent researchers who contributed a lot for the past Hokudan meetings and who passed away since the 2020 meeting.
Tejpal Singh and his colleagues are organizing a workshop on Observing Ground Deformation From Space And In The Field. It will take place from 16-19 December, 2024, in Chandigarh at the foot of the Himalayas. Here’s the details:
The 4th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC2025) will take place from 15 – 17 September, 2025, in Lausanne. There will be a session on “New perspectives in Archaeoseismology” (SS-7), chaired by Philippe Garnier. Abstract submission deadline is 20 October, 2024, but likely to be prolonged.
The first Environmental Hazards in Asia Conference will take place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from 12-15 August with a field trip from 16-20 August. This conference aims to bring together practitioners of both with a focus on the hazards across Asia. The workshop will be structured to allow exploration of the underlying physical mechanics of hazards, explore the impacts of historical events across the continent and focus on the possible approaches to minimizing future impacts. The aim is to facilitate new ideas and proposals. Funds to support travel and subsistence to up to 20 participants from across Asia are available.
May 15th – Abstract submission deadline June 1st – Fieldtrip registration deadline July 12th – Online registration deadline
We are aiming to organize a special issue titled: Earthquakes and active tectonics in regions of slow lithospheric deformation: towards a re-evaluation of Stable Continental Regions (SCRs). This special issue will complement a session on Intraplate Tectonics and Seismicity at the 37th International Geological Congress to be held in Busan, Korea in September 2024. The abstract for the IGC session is below, followed by our solicitation for contributions to the special issue. If you are interested in submitting an article to the special issue, please let us know a tentative title your list of authors by the 15th of December 2023.
We hope that you will join us in Busan and consider submitting your intraplate research to our special issue.
Sincerely,
The editors: Klaus Reicherter, Beau Whitney, Sambit Naik, Pierre Arroucau, Christoph Grützner, Stéphane Baize, Jim McCalpin
TERPRO’s project EDITH (From Earthquake Deformation to SHA) is organizing its meeting for the 13th -16th November 2023 in Israel.
Please visit this website for further information, registration and abstract submission: The abstract submission deadline is Sept. 30th 2023. Hurry up and register! 😉 presently there are still many seats available, but there is room for 50 people only.
The organizers are waiting for your contribution for one of the 5 scheduled scientific sessions. See the detailed program here
