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
Main topics are: Historical Earthquakes, Palaeoseismology, Archaeoseismology, Macroseismology, Seismotectonics. A special session will be dedicated to the recent catastrophic earthquakes in SE Turkey and Northern Syria. On the third day a field trip will be organized that will include visits to the ruins of the 1953 earthquakes, damages that occurred due to the 2014 earthquakes, expression of active tectonics and an overall experience of the morphology/landscape of the island, as a result of intense seismotectonic activity.
INQUA TERPRO‘s project Lemon will run a winter school on “Active Tectonics And Climate Change Driven Landscape Evolution” from 16-19 January, 2023, in Palermo, Sicily.
During the 16th and 17th of January, there will be talks by young and experienced researchers. Attendants are invited to share research and gather helpful tips and new collaborations through Pico-Talks (a 5-minutespeech followed by an interactive Q&A session).
During two days of fieldwork, experienced researchers will show crucial locations in western Sicily (the 18thand 19thof January).
To date, scheduled field trips are:
Relative sea-level changes evidence in the Vito Peninsula (led by Fabrizio Antonioli);
Active tectonics and its interaction with sea level changes in South Western Sicily (led by Luigi Ferranti & Pierfrancesco Burrato);
Archaeo-seismological evidence of historical earthquakes within the Archaeological Park of Segesta (led by Carla Bottari).

The XXI Inqua congress will take place in Rome in July 2023. Don’t forget to submit your abstract, deadline is November 1st, 2022! Submit your abstract here
Below are some highlights on sessions centered on earthquakes, active faulting and tectonic stuff, but remember to check the full list – 209 proposed sessions!
Here is the 2nd circular for the PATA Days in Southern France, September 2022. First important deadline: 30 April for submitting the short abstract (300 words). For more information visit http://patadays-2022.sciencesconf.org
INQUA’s XXI congress will take place in Rome in 2023. This is the most important gathering for the Quaternary community, taking place every four years only. Active tectonics, paleoseismology and related fields have found their home in INQUA’s TERPRO Commission (Terrestrial Processes, Deposits & History). TERPRO provides support for scientific meetings and networking; they have always been involved in the PATA Days and supported dozens of early career researchers and researchers from developing countries with travel grants for these meetings. If you want to support the earthquake community within INQUA, please join TERPRO here. It’s free and comes without obligations. It only means you’ll receive the INQUA newsletters, you can apply for funding for meetings and workshops (as an organiser), and you can elect the TERPRO officers.
Currently, the organising committee of the INQUA Congress in Rome is accepting session proposals for the 2023 congress. Please make sure your areas of interest are represented at the conference. If in doubt, contact your TERPRO officers. Let’s present some great earthquake science at INQUARoma2023!
This is an interesting topical session at the GSA 2021 meeting:
‘T11. Recent to Long-Term Slip Histories of Active Faults and Folds in Cascadia’
at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America. We hope to attract a diverse array of talks that explore the faults and folds in the upper plate of the Cascadia subduction zone that are both active and have protracted histories of fault slip. We welcome submissions summarizing recent tectonic geomorphologic, paleoseismologic, geodetic, seismic reflection, and other data that characterize deformation of Quaternary-active structures and seek contributions from geologic, geophysical, and related research that examines the longer-term history of active faults. We particularly invite studies in the forearc, arc, and backarc of Cascadia that bridge the gap between Quaternary evidence of fault activity with longer records of fault slip that may address the consistency of slip rates over time and the timing of fault/fold initiation.
The 2021 meeting on “Intraplate Active Tectonics and Seismicity in Central/Western Europe“ will take place on 23 March, 2021. These meetings were held before traditionally in several countries, this year it will be held via Zoom. The meeting used to be organised in the Euregio area, Aachen/NRW, Belgium and the Netherlands, but is now opened up to include more regions, as there is a joint topic that connects many places: intraplate tectonics.
