Upcoming activities
- 11-14.09.2012 – 4th International Geologica Belgica Meeting – Special Session Geohazards and environmental changes in an archaeological context – Brussels, Belgium
Convenors: T. Missiaen(Belgium), D. Kaniewski (France) and V. Heyvaert (Belgium)
Scope: We invite papers that provide local and regional reconstructions of event-scale and permanent flooding. Of particular interest are interdisciplinary studies that focus on 1) interacting coastal and river environments, 2) impact of floods on past and present societies, and 3) predictions of future extreme events.
- 19-24.08.2012 – 33rd European Seismological Commission General Assembly – Thematic Session Paleoseismology – Moscow, Russia
Convenors: Andrey Korjenkov (Kyrgyzstan) and Alessandro Michetti (Italy)
Scope: Presentations describing new data, approaches, and methods used to identify evidence of paleoseismicity (for instance surface ruptures, liquefaction, tsunami deposits), to date it, and to retrieve source parameters are welcome.
- 2-10.08.2012 – 34th International Geological Congress (IGC), Australia 2012 XIX – Thematic Session Natural hazards and ancient societies
Convenors: Patrick Nunn (Australia), Bruce McFadgen (New Zealand), Iain Stewart (U.K.) and Manuel Sintubin (Belgium)
Scope: This session addresses multidisciplinary approaches to understanding natural hazards and human culture change during recent millennia. Key hazards are tectonic in origin (earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions) but other extreme natural phenomena are relevant. Understanding how natural hazards affected former societies can extend our knowledge about the resilience and adaptability of modern human communities to future hazard threats.
- 17-19.04.2012 – SSA 2012 Annual Meeting – Special Session Earthquakes and Tsunamis at Coastal Archaeological Sites – San Diego, California, U.S.A.
Convenors: Manuel Sintubin (Belgium), Berverly Goodman-Tchernov (Israel) and Tina Niemi (U.S.A.)
Scope: This session explores the records of earthquakes and tsunamis at coastal archaeological sites and methods for quantifying tsunami and seismic hazard parameters from archaeological data.
