10 years after the 2008 Movri Mtn Earthquake: International workshop in Patras, Greece, 13 June, 2018
2018-06-13 | Patras, Patras, Greece
2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the Movri Mtn Earthquake in Greece. A workshop will be held in Patras on the 13 June, 2018, with a field trip to the Movri Mtn epicentral area (geology, geomorphology, geodesy, earthquake effects). The trip is organised by the Department of Geology, University of Patras, Greece, in conjunction with the Tectonics Committee of the Geological Society of Greece.
This workshop is the 2nd of a recent series of scientific meetings organized by the Tectonics Committee of the Geological Society of Greece aiming to shed light on tectonic processes related with the active deformation in different levels of the crust of western Greece such as landscape evolution, seismicity, near field geodesy and their significance for hazard assessment and oil prospect. The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their latest work on evaluating the impact of the active deformation on the society as well as to highlight innovative applications and research outcomes. Students of geology or related disciplines are welcome to the workshop.
The organisers invite original or review contributions on structural geology, geomorphology, seismicity, crustal deformation (GNSS and InSAR), natural hazards that discuss the topics in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, running experiments, and applications in similar areas. The topics include (but are not limited to):

Structural Geology and Geomorphology of NW Peloponnese
Seismology and near surface tectonic geodesy
GNSS-InSAR
Geomorphological evolution in slowly deformed areas
Principles, theories, and models

After the end of the workshop a short field trip in the study area is planned. Due to limited space for the field trip, the interested colleagues are kindly requested to send an email for their participation to Prof. Ioannis Koukouvelas: iannis@upatras.gr

Workshop: Image Analysis in Geoscience, 4-8 June, 2018, Basel, SUI
2018-06-04 - 2018-06-08 | Uni Basel, Bernoullistr. 32, Basel, 4056, Switzerland
The aim of the workshop is to familiarise the participants with methods of image processing and to carry out a number of different micro-structural analyses. The workshop is based on Image SXM, a public domain software, the platform is Mac OSX. It is also possible to follow the course using Image J (PC based).

The course is open to Master level students, PhD and Postdocs. The number of participants is limited by the number of available workstations (15). Participants are encouraged to bring images of thin sections, slides or photographs in order to be able to work on their own material.
