20th Anniversary of 1999 Marmara Earthquakes
2019-10-15 - 2019-10-18 | Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey
We would like to invite you to the international meeting organized by Active Tectonics Research Group (ATAG) of Turkey in commemoration of 20th Anniversary of 1999 Marmara Earthquakes. Following these two devastating earthquakes (1999 Mw 7.4 İzmit and 1999 Mw 7.2 Düzce Earthquakes), a vast number of international/national projects carried out in the Marmara Sea region of Turkey and the outcomes of research done contributed significantly to multi-disciplinary studies in active tectonics. The meeting aims to revisit the results of these important number of observations together with new research going on to highlight the current state of seismic hazard in Marmara Sea where the next big earthquakes is expected to occur.

ATAG founded by late Aykut Barka, organizes annual meetings since 1997 to gather earth scientists and students studying active tectonics of Turkey and neighbouring regions. This year 23. ATAG meeting aims to bring together international earth science community to share the experience gained in many fields of active tectonics. There will be an extensive session dedicated to Active Tectonics of Sea of Marmara: “A thorough review of research conducted for the last 20 years”. All contributions from the following active tectonics related themes are welcome:

– Active tectonics of Anatolia and the adjacent regions
– Paleoseismology
– Seismology, Seismotectonics
– Tectonic Geodesy, Remote Sensing of Earthquake Deformation
– Tectonic Geomorphology
– Monitoring and Modelling Crustal Deformation
– Marine/Lacustrine Geology and Geochemistry in Active Tectonics
– Archaeoseismology

ATAG meeting will be hosted by Istanbul Technical University from October 15 to October 18, 2019. Opening ceremony lectures will be given by Prof. John Dewey, Prof. Xavier Le Pichon and Prof. Dan McKenzie.

Deadline for abstract submission is August 17, 2019 (3:01 am GMT +3).

Please contact Dr. Gülsen Ucarkus to notify your participation or if you have any questions regarding the meeting ( e-mail: ucarkus@itu.edu.tr).

25th Latin-American Colloquium of Geoscience
2019-09-18 - 2019-09-21 | Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
On the occasion of the 250th birthday of Alexander von Humboldt and the 100th anniversary of the Universität Hamburg this year, the 25th Latin-American Colloquium of Geoscience will be held at the Universität Hamburg, Germany, from September 18 – 21, 2019.
This biennial conference series has advanced as an important international venue to showcase research activity in Latin-American countries supported by the German Science Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany’s Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, and other funding bodies. Many of the featured collaborative projects are highly interdisciplinary and span from marine geology and geophysics, structural geology, paleontology, mineralogy, sedimentology to paleoclimate studies, geomorphology and the impact of humankind on erosion and climate change. Given the challenges that geoscientists are confronted with today, this Earth System Science format of the conference is timely and helps foment interdisciplinary thinking and the establishment of new alliances. As such the Colloquium follows the Earth System Science approach of Alexander von Humboldt and his efforts to communicate scientific results to the public.

Teaching Structural Geology and Tectonics in the 21st century
2019-04-05 - 2019-04-07 | Near Vienna, Austria
How to define a successful SG&T curriculum and what are essential components thereof? How to best deal with a constrained BSc curriculum (what content goes where)? How to work with very large class sizes, how to counter low levels of student engagement and how to manage a lack of (numerical) background knowledge? How to build links to different geosciences disciplines?
Innovative approaches to teaching structural geology and tectonics and how to best integrate modern teaching techniques (e.g. flipped classrooms, virtual outcrops, lecture recordings) and technologies (digital mapping and terrain models, numerical and analogue modelling, 3D-4D visualization, virtual reality, social media and in-class room experiments).
Field work and strategies on how to defend it against threats from funding cuts, increasingly rigorous health and safety concerns and efforts to establish virtual field trips. Is teaching field skills outdated? Who will be teaching field skills in the future?
Professional careers we are educating for now, and will be educating for in 25 years (e.g. applied structural geology in geothermal energy extraction/radioactive waste management/CO2 sequestration). What key skills are needed for these jobs?

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.
