From Source to Sink: integrated natural hazard assessment through the quantification of mass transfer from mountain ranges to active sedimentary basins (SourceSink)
Funded by: FWF, GACR, CNRS, CNCSIS, APVV, TÜBITAK
SourceSink focuses on the quantitative analysis of coupled active mountain and drainage systems through step-wise 4D reconstructions of sediment mass transfer. The Danube River Basin - Black Sea area provides a world-class natural laboratory for the study of interplays between lithosphere and surface processes, including source-to-sink relationships with their impact on global change. Moreover, natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, flooding, or subsidence, may result from changes in topography and landforms. The SourceSink consortium, with proven capacity and complementary scientific strength in distinct research domains, provides a solid base for realizing an integrated program for the understanding of coupled mountain range and basin dynamics. The CRP will apply past analogues and present-day evolutionary models, based on new data acquisitions and fieldwork to constrain simulations of recent, past and near future processes.
