SEISMCARE Assembly: Seismic Prevention and Strategies

2009 June 22-24, in Fort-de-France, Martinique (FWI)

The SEISMCARE (SEISmic Mitigation in the CAribbean REgion) assembly has been created by the French Directorate for the Environment (DIREN) to gather officials experts involved in the seismic prevention, mitigation and remediation within the Caribbean region : professional training courses, public information and prepardeness, school and public buildings retrofits, general strategies of prevention and mitigation etc.

It aims to share experiences and knowledge in such topics and to initiate technical exchanges or projects between Caribbean nations.

This first assembly is organized by the DIREN together with the Martinique Regional Council, the Martinique General Council, the Prefecture of Martinique, the Department Directorate for Equipment (DDE), the French Geological Survey (BRGM) and the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Martinique (OVSM).
This SEISMCARE assembly is an UNESCO 'International Year of Planet Earth' project (ref. Unesco-CNF-IYPE 416).

The official language will be English, but lectures may be given in native language as simultaneous translation in French, English and Spanish will be provided.
Posters can be proposed in English only.
More details and existing sessions can be found :

Climate Forcing of Geological and Geomorphological Hazards

2009 September 15-17, in London, United Kingdom

The Third Johnston-Lavis Colloquium, on the theme of Climate Forcing of Geological and Geomorphological Hazards, will address relationships between past and contemporary climate change and the triggering of hazardous geological and geomorphological phenomena. The meeting is supported by the UK Met Office, the British Geological Survey, the British Antarctic Survey and UCL and Oxford universities.

SESSIONS
      
S1. Past climate change and geological and geomorphological hazards
S2. Feedback effects and climate modification
S3. Short time-scale drivers of geological and geomorphological hazards
S4. Climate change forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards

November 2009

IRIS/ORFEUS Metadata Workshop - Managing Waveform Data and Related Metadata for Seismic Networks

95th Journées Luxembourgeoises de Géodynamique

2009 November 9-11, in Echternach, Luxembourg

For participants giving presentations, ECGS will cover accomodation costs as well as the meals. A limited number of travel grants is also available (number depends on budgetary constraints). As the JLG meetings are traditionally intended to be interdisciplinary, we explicitely welcome contributions from different fields. So far, two special sessions are also intended:

Special session I: Deep structure of the Upper Rhine Graben Special session II: Earthquake ground motions & seismic hazard - from source dynamics to site amplification

For further information, please consult the webpage. If you are interested in attending the meeting and giving a presentation, please register by sending an email to Mrs. Corine Galassi (corine.galassi@ecgs.lu) or Adrien Oth (adrien.oth@ecgs.lu) and send us your abstract at the latest by August 31, 2009.
