ESF Research Conferences

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.
