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, […]

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.
