The INQUA Focus Group on Earthquake Geology and Seismic Hazards (EGSHaz) will run the International Summer School on Active Tectonics and Tectonic Geomorphology in Prague from 24-27 September, 2019. This event replaces the PATA Days this year and aims mainly at MSc./PhD students and Early Career Researchers. Please note that this is not a classical PATA Days event where new science will be shown and discussed. The summer school is organized by the Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics, Czech […]

the Earth and Environmental Sciences PhD Program of the University of Pavia, in collaboration with the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources (National Research Council of Italy), the Italian Group of Petrology and the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology, is pleased to announce the International School entitled "Structure and Composition of the Lower Continental Crust". The School will be held on October 7-10, 2019 in the historical Palazzo Vistarino (https://www.palazzovistarino.it/eng/), Pavia (Italy). The major purpose of the School is […]

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 […]

The aim of this workshop is bringing together international research teams focused on this key sector of the Western Mediterranean to strengthen their scientific collaboration through the development of new research projects related to the geological history, active tectonics and geological hazards in the Alboran basin and surrounding mountain ranges. The workshop is designed to promote multidisciplinary international exchange between scientific teams from the North and South of the Mediterranean, including geological, geophysical and geodetical field and offshore studies.

Registration is now open for the 2019 Biennial meeting of the SGTSG (Specialist Group in Tectonics ans Structural Geology) and SGSEG (Specialist Group in Solid Earth Geophysics), themed `Convergence at the Coast`. This is also the first call for abstracts. The conference runs from the 18th to the 22nd of November 2019 and is located in the stunning seafood capital of Australia Port Lincoln, South Australia. More info: http://www.sgtsg.org Events There are a number of planned field trips, workshops and […]

PATAis the most relevant workshop on paleoseismology and active tectonics of the INQUA Focus Group “Earthquake Geology and Seismic Hazard (IFG EGSHaz)”. For first time in South America, we are honored to welcome the 10th PATA days in the hyperarid coastal Atacama Desert, located in the active continental margin formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate; a unique tectonic setting for the assessment of megathrust episodes, upper-plate paleo-earthquakes, and paleotsunami records, and their relationship […]
