ESF-FWF Conference in Partnership with LFUI
Submarine Paleoseismology: The Offshore Search of Large Holocene Earthquakes
11-16 September 2010
Universitätszentrum Obergurgl, Obergurgl, Austria
Chaired by:
- Dr. Daniela Pantosti - Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Roma, IT
- Dr. Eulàlia Gràcia - Unidad de Tecnologia Marina (UTM)-CSIC, Barcelona, ES
Programme |
The scope of the conference is to create a discussion platform and new synergic contacts among researchers that are already, or may become, involved in Submarine Paleoseismology. This new field of study merges and integrates two well-established disciplines: paleoseismology and marine geology. During the past years, scientists coming from both fields have underlined the need to broaden paleoseismology into the marine environment. Successful examples come from the Marmara Sea, Oregon Coast, New Zealand, Japan and South Iberian margins.
