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 […]

Within the Topo-Europe framework, the ITN SUBITOP organises a workshop on understanding subduction zone topography through modelling of coupled shallow and deep processes. TOPO-EUROPE promotes, coordinates and integrates national research programs on geological surface processes and their implications for continental topography and natural hazards in a coherent European network. SUBITOP is an ITN for training and career development of 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESR) in Geodynamics, Geophysics, Geology and Geomorphology.  It has a scientific focus on the dynamics of continental […]

There will be a pre-conference field trip on the geology of the northern Rocky Mountains in and around Glacier National Park (June 2-4) and a post-meeting field trip in and around Yellowstone National Park (June 8-9).

The workshop will consist of two-day conference and is aimed to favor exchanges of ideas and opinions between Italian and foreign geologists and geophysicists who operate on active tectonics, seismotectonics and seismogenesis using different methodologies, at any spatial and temporal scale. Main topics of the workshop: Seismic monitoring Seismic source Stress strain distribution Active tectonics and seismotectonics 3D fault model building Surface faulting and fracture Seismic site effects Geodesy Gravimetry Seismic tomography Numerical and probabilistic models The workshop is free […]

The summer school is specifically aimed at PhD students, Post-Docs and early-career researchers. Course max number of participants: 35

The biannual Emile Argand Conference on Alpine Geological Studies is organized by European universities, with the support of the European Geosciences Union. The main purpose of this meeting is to organize oral and poster presentations, favouring exchanges between all members of the Earth Sciences community. All aspects relevant to the past history and present dynamics of the Alpine belt are covered by the meeting. In addition field excursions are organized before and after the meeting. Therefore this meeting is a […]
