Program > Description

The objective of this workshop is to provide a detailed and current view of our understanding of the active functioning of subduction zones. About 20 scientists, recognized world-wide experts (from Europe, USA, Japan, Chile…) will give keynote lectures or intermediate talks, together with practical lab sessions aimed at learning how to use softwares and methods. A large range of subjects will be covered, from geodynamic modelling of the subduction to the geological or geophysical observation of micro earthquakes (slow or fast) at the scale of the asperity (~100m). In addition to the main invited speakers, about 80 students and young researchers will attend. These young researchers will also be encouraged to present their work through short talks or posters.

We foresee an organization of the scientific content that will be a balanced equilibrium between short and long presentations, and discussions in plenary sessions or around the posters. Plenary sessions will be held in the morning and in the second part of the afternoon. Typically each session will be composed of two keynote lectures that will last about 45 minutes each, several intermediate talks of 20 minutes, and short talks of 10 minutes. Significant time will be left for questions and exchange. A long coffee break in the morning will allow the participants to discuss around posters. During the first hour of the afternoon, seaside thematic discussions will be held in small groups, on subjects of special interest or transverse to the sessions. The wednesday afternoon will be dedicated to the practical labs, to discover and test codes for modelling or data analysis on specific subjects. Poster sessions will be held at the end of the afternoon. Posters will be shortly introduced through a plenary lightning session, allowing to each participant to present his/her work to all.
