Fragile Earth: Geological Processes from Global to Local Scales, Associated Hazards and Resources
From : 04.09.2011 Till : 07.09.2011 Location : Ludwig-Maximilian-University (LMU) Main Building, Geschwister-Stroll-Platz 1, 80539 Munich, Germany
The geosciences are one of the most important scientific fields of the 21st century. The growing world population faces risks due to geological hazards — such as the great Tohoku-Oki earthquake-tsunami events of March 11, 2011, in Japan — but also profits from geological resources. Mitigation of risks and availability of resources depends on the understanding of complex and transient geological processes acting at global, regional and local scales. This conference provides an international platform for research on global geodynamic processes and plate motion, regional plate boundary processes and their associated resources (e.g. oil, gas and geothermal energy), and on dynamics of fault networks and magmatic systems with their associated hazards (e.g. earthquakes and volcanic eruptions). We look forward to welcoming you in Munich. — Anke Friedrich (LMU Munich)
