Hi all,
This is a call to early career scientists to come and join us in the Young Earth Scientists YES Congress 2019, “Rocking Earth’s Future” in Berlin next September.
YES Congress is organised by and for young and early career Earth researchers, and its sessions are open to participative presentation formats, such as discussion forums and roundtables. YES 2019 focuses on climate, environmental and geoscience challenges facing today’s society, as well as career and academic pathway challenges faced by early-career geoscientists. Also, YES 2019 has three workshops on seismology, rock testing and publications, a training course in ocean bottom seismological data and a summer school on coastal hydrology.
Important dates:
Abstract submission deadline is February 18th
Conference dates are September 9th-13th
If you do join us at YES 2019, may we interest you in our session on “Geomorphic and sedimentary records of active plate tectonics”?
Plate tectonic processes and events and associated long-term rates can be quantified using the geomorphology and sedimentary evidence of active landscapes. The geomorphologic and sedimentary archives that record the rates and dates of crustal strain can take many forms; from the analysis of topography, long river profiles, and other fluvial metrics, to marine evidence such as uplifted marine terraces/wave-cut platforms and the associated sedimentary deposits, as well as syntectonic sedimentation and sequence stratigraphy. Any and all of these, when used in key natural laboratories at adequate time spans, can provide essential clues to unravel the large-scale geodynamic evolution of tectonic plates and understand dynamic changes and sudden tip-points in plate boundary conditions.
We invite contributions that aim to understand the dynamics of plate boundaries and the evolution of the interior of active tectonic plates by means of geomorphic and/or sedimentary evidence. We welcome field-based, numerical, analogue, and especially interdisciplinary integrative studies, that use the geomorphic and sedimentary record to quantify the rates of active deformation and tectonic events, at key sites and at larger scales.
We hope to see you there!
