RAS/COMET Discussion Meeting to celebrate the career of Professor Barry Parsons
2018-09-13 - 2018-09-14 | Oxford, EarthScience Department, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3AN
The work of Barry Parsons (Professor of Geodesy and Geophysics, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford) has centred upon the applications of geodesy and geodynamics to understanding the thermal and mechanical behaviour of the earth, earthquakes and tectonics. Over the course of his career, Barry has been behind scientific advances in at least three areas: marine geophysics, mantle convection and continental tectonics, and his observations, physical models, and insights have been used by researchers all over the world.
To celebrate Barry’s 70th birthday, the meeting will bring together colleagues, collaborators, students past and present, and the wider community to focus on ongoing research in the areas of oceans and continents, geophysical geodesy and earthquake science. Further information about invited speakers and details of the programme can be found at http://comet.nerc.ac.uk/barry-parsons-symposium/.

Young Researchers in Structural Geology and Tectonics Conference, 2-6 July, Montgenèvre, France
2018-07-02 - 2018-07-06 | Montgenevre, Route d'Italie, Montgenèvre, 05100, France
Yorsget is a conference aimed primarily at MSc/PhD students, post-docs, and early career researchers in the broad field of structural geology and tectonics. The conference provides a platform for networking and research presentations in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere. The conference consists of keynotes, regular talks, poster presentations, and field trips.
The location of Yorsget 2018 in Montgenevre, France, has been selected due to its proximity to some world-famous examples of structural geology and tectonics, from outcrop to regional scale.
The first Yorsget was organised at the University of Oviedo, Spain, in 2008. The conference in 2018, therefore, marks the 10-year anniversary of the first conference. TecTask, the main sponsor of this conference, invites applications for organizing the next Yorsget conference in 2020.

Workshop: Digital Photogrammetry for Structural Geologists, Montgenèvre, 1 July 2018
2018-07-01 | Montgenevre, Route d'Italie, Montgenèvre, 05100, France
Dr Stefan Vollgger from Monash University, Australia will give a 1-day workshop on the principles of Structure-from-Motion and how to use this technique to aid 3D visualisation and interpretation of field data.
This 1-day workshop is designed for all structural geologists that are interested in generating digital outcrop models using Structure-from-Motion Multiview Stereo (SfM MVS). In this workshop attendees will learn a “best practice digital photogrammetry workflow” including image acquisition (choice of camera/lens, camera settings, image overlap, survey layout), the use of markers/ground control points and scale bars, the right choice of processing settings and how to share and export generated spatial datasets. All attendees will be processing UAV imagery of a coastal outcrop using the digital photogrammetry software package Agisoft PhotoScan Pro. During the training, attendees will also be introduced to CloudCompare, a free and open-source point cloud editing software which allows to extract structural data (e.g., bedding measurements, fracture orientations, etc) and much more from 3D point clouds.

10 years after the 2008 Movri Mtn Earthquake: International workshop in Patras, Greece, 13 June, 2018
2018-06-13 | Patras, Patras, Greece
2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the Movri Mtn Earthquake in Greece. A workshop will be held in Patras on the 13 June, 2018, with a field trip to the Movri Mtn epicentral area (geology, geomorphology, geodesy, earthquake effects). The trip is organised by the Department of Geology, University of Patras, Greece, in conjunction with the Tectonics Committee of the Geological Society of Greece.
This workshop is the 2nd of a recent series of scientific meetings organized by the Tectonics Committee of the Geological Society of Greece aiming to shed light on tectonic processes related with the active deformation in different levels of the crust of western Greece such as landscape evolution, seismicity, near field geodesy and their significance for hazard assessment and oil prospect. The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their latest work on evaluating the impact of the active deformation on the society as well as to highlight innovative applications and research outcomes. Students of geology or related disciplines are welcome to the workshop.
The organisers invite original or review contributions on structural geology, geomorphology, seismicity, crustal deformation (GNSS and InSAR), natural hazards that discuss the topics in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, running experiments, and applications in similar areas. The topics include (but are not limited to):

Structural Geology and Geomorphology of NW Peloponnese
Seismology and near surface tectonic geodesy
GNSS-InSAR
Geomorphological evolution in slowly deformed areas
Principles, theories, and models

After the end of the workshop a short field trip in the study area is planned. Due to limited space for the field trip, the interested colleagues are kindly requested to send an email for their participation to Prof. Ioannis Koukouvelas: iannis@upatras.gr
