Understanding earthquakes using the geological record
2020-02-17 - 2020-02-18 | The Royal Society, London, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG, United Kingdom
This meeting will focus on the interplay between deformation, metamorphism, and rheology of the lithosphere.
Modern geophysical research is revealing increasingly complex and spatially variable fault zone behaviours. The properties and deformation of the ductile crust and mantle are controversial, as is their influence on the overlying faults. Current models indicate a close coupling between metamorphism, rheology and deformation, but remain poorly constrained by geological observations.
The meeting will unite international experts in geodesy, seismology, metamorphism and rheology to characterise and understand the geological controls on fault behaviour, guiding future studies and advancing our understanding of earthquake hazard.
Speaker abstracts will be available closer to the meeting. Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting has taken place. Meeting papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.

National Earthquake Conference
2020-03-04 - 2020-03-06 | Sheraton San Diego Hotel, San Diego, United States

***CANCELLED*** 18th Symposium on Tectonics, Structural Geology and Crystalline Geology (TSK)
2020-03-16 | Cologne, Cologne, Germany
The 18th Symposium on Tectonics, Structural Geology and Crystalline Geology, for short “TSK 18” will take place from 16th – 20th March at the Institute for Geology and Mineralogy of the University of Cologne.
All European working groups in the fields of Tectonics, Structural Geology and Crystalline Geology are cordially invited to join us at the next TSK meeting. As one of the foundation ideas of TSK, we intend to offer young and early career geoscientists a stage for their research. We therefore especially invite and encourage PhD students and post-docs as well as undergraduate students to actively contribute to the symposium. Of course, we also address the “old guys” who kept TSK alive for now 36 years and all other experienced geoscientist.
Cologne can be easily reached by train, from the airport Cologne/Bonn and also by car. There are plenty of accomodations, from youth hostels, other hostels and hotels on all price levels available. To attract especially young scientists we try to keep costs as low as possible.

Analog Modeling of Tectonic Processes Workshop 2020
2020-03-24 - 2020-03-26 | University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, United States

SEPM2020 ISGC Workshop: Distinguishing Storms and Tsunamis
2020-04-26 | Flagstaff, Flagstaff, United States
A 1-Day workshop investigating the similarities and differences between the sedimentary records of storms and tsunamis. Tsunami and storms threaten coastal lives and infrastructure. Documenting past events within the sedimentary record provides an important means of assessing the hazards associated with storms and tsunamis. However, distinguishing storm and tsunami deposits within the sedimentary record remains a very difficult problem. Recent work has shown that even storms can produce large infragravity waves thus calling into question basic assumptions about how the two might differ in their sedimentary products. The purpose of this session is to bring together scientists working in the laboratory, field and with computer simulations on storm and/or tsunami deposits who might be able to shed light on this fundamental problem. We imagine the workshop as a mini-research conference

International Workshop on “Active tectonics and dating”
2020-06-09 - 2020-06-11 | Praz-sur-Arly, Club Belambra "L'Alisier", Praz-sur-Arly, France
The magnitude and rate of damaging earthquakes that occur along well-characterized active fault systems are fundamental information in seismic hazard assessment. This is particularly true in slow deforming areas of continental interiors where the return times of most earthquakes are typically longer than the time-window covered by historical chronicles. The present-day fault slip rates in these regions are rarely resolved, making the evaluation of the seismo-tectonic activity very challenging.
In this context, the characterization and absolute dating of the Quaternary markers (landforms and/or stratigraphical units) offset by or sealing tectonic structures are critical. Hence, this workshop will cover:

The techniques and latest improvements of fault activity dating methods to resolve neo-tectonic and paleo-seismological issues,
Specific applications of Quaternary dating methodologies to the characterization of the tectonic activity and past earthquake surface rupture history,
and, in the context of slow-deforming regions, a half-day session will be dedicated to the advance of the French active fault working groups, one year after the launch of the “Failles actives in France” (FACT) action, and in the light of the questions raised after the surface rupturing event of November 11th 2019, at Le Teil in the Rhone River Valley.

This international workshop is organized in the framework of the Seismic Ground Motion Assessment project SIGMA-2 (www.sigma-2.net) and of the action (FACT) of the French seismological and geodetic network RESIF (https://www.resif.fr/?lang=en).
It will be held in the northern French Alps, in Praz-sur-Arly, from June 9 – 11 2020, and it will include a one-day field trip in the Aiguille rouge massif to visit active fault scarps.

2022-01-12 - 2022-01-14 | Online
A SCEC workshop will be held online January 2022 focused on creating a framework to standardize post-earthquake response in four areas: coordination, communication, data collection methodology and data types. This framework will include curation and dissemination of ground deformation observations in ways that improve their usability for earthquake geology, simulations and other modeling activities, as well as Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analyses (PFDHA). Anyone currently working on, or interested in, post-earthquake studies is encouraged to participate, especially researchers and young investigators with expertise in earthquake geology, geophysics, modeling, and those who collect perishable data to improve engineering practice. We anticipate participants from the broad scientific community (academic, government, private sector).

The workshop will be conducted as a Zoom meeting over two, non-consecutive days (January 12 and 14, 2022 from 09:00-13:00 PST each day). Invited talks will include lessons learned from recent earthquakes, insights from existing data compilations/databases and modeler needs, and an overview of current surface fault rupture data schemas. Discussions during breakout sessions will focus attention on data collection tools, communication and information dissemination, compilation and end-user needs, and remote-sensing support. An outcome of this workshop will be updated guidelines and recommendations for implementing and streamlining the data collection process for surface rupture displacements, with applicability towards other post-earthquake ground deformation collection efforts.
