The Institut de Physique du Globe and Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre of the University of Strasbourg welcome the XVI General Assembly of WEGENER from 17 to 20 September 2012.
The scientific programme is prepared around six sessions that emphasizes multidisciplinary studies of Earth deformation using geodetic techniques, active tectonics, geophysical observations and various modeling approaches.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME
1. Subduction zones and giant earthquakes (C. Vigny, M. Simons, L. Rivera)
2. The role of continental faults in the Mediterranean, Africa and Middle-East (M. Meghraoui, T. Wright, J-M. Nocquet)
3. Seismotectonics and the Earthquake Cycle (S. Stein, Y. Klinger, N. Gourmelen)
4. Earth Observation Systems and Reference Frames, Observation Techniques, Methods and Data Analysis (M. Becker, H. Ozener, Z. Altamimi)
5. Solid Earth dynamics from surface and satellite gravity observations (J. Hinderer, S. Zerbini, R. Biancale)
6. Magmatic processes and crustal deformation (C. Doubre, S. Jonsson, J. Biggs)
7. Scientific results related to the Geohazard Supersites initiative (F. Amelung, A. Hooper, E. Calais)
