INQUA TERPRO’s project TPPT had decided to not organise PATA Days in the years with an INQUA congress, but instead to run a much smaller summer school for ECRs and DCRs. The summer school on Active Faults and Volcano-Tectonics will be held from 25-28 September in Naples (Italy). The event will be hosted by DiSTAR (Department of Earth Sciences, Enviroment and Resources , University of Naples «Federico II»). The first two days will include lectures by researchers who will present […]

Subduction zones are convergent plate boundaries, where oceanic plates sink into the mantle. They host the largest earthquakes, but also slow slip and tremors. The dynamics of subduction zones, their ability to host episodic tremor and slip, their segmentation depend on several parameters, such as the age and structure of the incoming plate, the geotherm, the presence of fluids, or the thickness and geology of the overriding plate. The factors controlling the time of occurrence and size of the earthquakes, […]

ICTP is organizing a workshop and school on the mechanics of the earthquake cycle that will start on Monday October 16th and will be held in Trieste. The program will involve a series of lectures, talks, computer exercises with ample time for posters and discussions. Lecturers that confirmed their participation include: J.-P. Ampuero, Université Côte d'Azur, France J. P. Avouac, CALTECH, USA L. Dal Zilio, ETH Zurich, Switzerland A. Gualandi, University of Cambridge, UK R. Harris, USGS California, USA J. […]

The meeting aims to bring together scientists and associated research from cognate sub-disciplines of coastal geology (e.g., geomorphologists, sedimentologists, stratigraphers, geoarchaeologists) and modelling (e.g., process, sediment transport, morphodynamic, inundation, and coastal erosion). Preliminary details can be found in the announcement: Brazil_1st_Announcement copy Further details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.  Abstracts are due May 29th and can be emailed to jessica_pilarczyk@sfu.ca.

3rd Mediterranean Geoscience Union meeting

Registration: A registration portal will be made available in early September. We expect early bird registration costs to be ~£110 for students, retired and unemployed and a full rate early bird cost will be ~£240. This discounted rate is expected to be available until mid-november. Registration includes the ice-breaker reception, two days of conference including coffee breaks, lunches, poster session refreshments and the conference dinner. Abstract Deadline November 15th 2023

You are interested in structural geology, tectonics, petrology, geophysics, impact processes, material sciences…? Then join the 20th symposium on Tectonics, Structural Geology and Crystalline Geology (TSK 20). TSK 20 will take place from 17.-22.03.2024 in Freiburg, Germany. Abstract deadline is 07 Jan 2024.

The 20th Anniversary CETEG meeting (Central European Tectonic Group) will take place in the Sudetes Mountains, in the village of Srebrna Góra, near the town of Ząbkowice Śląskie, ca. 65 km S of Wrocław from  24–27 April 2024. The meeting is organized by Structural Geology and Geohazards Research Group of the Polish Geological Society. The 1st circular with more details will be sent out to you shortly before Christmas.
