Conference Description
The Rock Deformation GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
Tectonic plate movement, the earthquake cycle, resource extraction, volcanic activity, and the growing importance of geo-storage, are just a few examples of the critical importance of rock deformation on our dynamic Earth. Understanding these processes requires integration of disparate datasets collected across orders-of-magnitude different spatial and temporal scales. Consequently, although individual research projects may focus on specific geological environments, the scientific techniques employed, the results obtained, and the conclusions drawn often have broader applications across the field of rock deformation. For this GRS, we invite contributions from all perspectives that are dedicated to advancing our understanding of rock deformation processes and their applications in both natural and anthropogenically influenced geological environments. We hope that the work presented will remain at the cutting edge of rock deformation research, while also exhibiting the breadth of our field to early career scientists seeking innovative practices, ideas, and collaborative opportunities in their future research.
Any applicants who wish to be considered for an oral presentation should submit their application by May, 13, 2024.
