Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the *VI International Conference on
Fractals and Dynamic Systems in Geoscience* held from September 26th to
October 02nd 2013 in Perugia (Italy).
The aim of this conference is to present the latest research and
techniques in the application of fractals and dynamic systems to Earth
systems, with emphases on predictability of geological risks, natural
resources and climate change.
*The conference welcomes contributions on all applications of fractals
and dynamic systems in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.*
Invited Speakers include *Shaun Lovejoy* (McGill University, CA), *Ian
Main* (The University of Edinburgh, UK), *Heinz Otto Peitgen* (Jacobs
University Bremen, DE), *Hans Joachim Schellnhuber* (Potsdam Institute
for Climate Impact Research, DE), *Cristian Suteanu* (Saint Mary’s
University, CA).
The conference will be preceded by three days of workshops aimed at
training researchers on the use of fractals and dynamic systems methods
and techniques on following topics:
• *Anisotropy and Inhomogeneity Quantification of Rock Fabrics* (J.H.
Kruhl & M. Peternell, Technical University Munich and Johannes Gutenberg
Universität Mainz, DE)
• *Fractals and Natural Resources* (T. Blenkinsop, James Cook
University, AU)
• *Fractal-Geometry-Based Treatment of Geohazards* (C. Suteanu, Saint
Mary’s University, CA)
Please find attached the first circular of the conference; further
information about deadlines, fees, venue and registration can be found at
