Geological, Seismological, and Paleoseismological Research into Eastern North American Earthquakes Eastern North America has experienced dozens of earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 5 over the past 200 years, including the 2011 Mw 5.8 Mineral, Virginia, and 2020 Mw 5.1 Sparta, North Carolina, events. This session will present geologic, seismological, and paleoseismological research on […]

From rifted margin to subduction, nappe stacking, and basin formationwith a special focus onMesozoic structural and stratigraphic evolution of the Inner Western Carpathians (NE Hungary, S Slovakia) The conference will include two field trips, as usual (the first and last days of the conference). The focus will be put on (1) Triassic salt tectonics; in this topic, we have new results which changed our view on the Cretaceous structural evolution, too. (2) Jurassic stratigraphy, sedimentology, mainly in the Telekesoldal Unit, […]

A training school focused on exploring glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) modelling will be held from 3-7 July 2023 at Lantmäteriet in Gävle, Sweden. The program will include lectures and practical exercises aimed at investigating the interactions between solid Earth deformation, ice mass change, and associated sea-level and geoid variations. Students will complete homework exercises utilizing freely available modelling software and will have the opportunity to spend one-to-one time with leading researchers in the GIA community while working through examples in […]

Following the tradition of the previous Emile Argand conferences (informally know as the "Alpine Workshop"), the next Conference in Siena includes 3 days of presentations, as well as excursions. Friday 13 - Sunday 15 September 2024: Pre-conference excursions Monday 16 - Wednesday 18 September 2024: Conference (oral and poster presentations) Thursday 19 - Saturday 21 September 2024: Post-conference excursions Since 1993 in Grenoble (France), the “Alpine Workshop” brings together geoscientists doing research or simply interested in the structure and evolution […]

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, […]
