EAGER Workshop

Extreme events Archived in GEological Records

Venue: Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research, National Central University, Chung-Li, Taiwan
Dates: Meeting: November 7 and 8, 2013; Field trip: November 9-10, 2013
Workshop Organizers: Shu‐Kun Hsu, Serge Lallemand, Andrew Lin, Lionel Siame
Sponsors: NSC (Taiwan), National Central University (Taiwan), CNRS‐INSU (France), LIA ADEPT (France/Taiwan),
BRT (Bureau de Représentation de Taipei en France) and BFT (Bureau Français à Taiwan)

Scope of the workshop

Sediments are tape recorders for extreme events (such as landslides, earthquakes and fault ruptures, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons, storms and floods) and those extreme events are prone to occur in active plate boundaries with frequent storms or typhoons. This workshop invites researchers from France, Japan, and Germany to communicate with Taiwanese scientists for a better understanding of extreme events. The workshop will also serve as a platform to foster future research collaborations among scientists from different nations.

Main objectives of the workshop:
(1) Better estimate the contribution of extreme events such as landslides, earthquakes and fault ruptures, tsunamis, typhoons, storms, floods on sediment source to sink fluxes
(2) Better characterize the contribution of extreme events on the dynamics of an orogen including erosion, transport, sedimentation and tectonics
(3) Develop an integrative approach including geophysics, geochemistry, tectonics, geomorphology, hydrology, oceanography, climatology and modeling
(4) Focus on East Asia sub-tropical region under monsoon influence: Taiwan as a perspective
(5) Focus on active processes or their Quaternary or Pliocene records

 

This workshop consists of five sessions of:

2013.11.07

Session 1: Extreme River Discharges on Source-to-Sink Fluxes

Session 2: Nearshore Dynamic Response to Extreme Events

Session 3: Sedimentological Records of Seismic and Mass-movement Events

2013.11.08

Session 4: Catastrophic Landscape and Seafloor Changes

Session 5: Sedimentological Records of Paleoclimatic Extreme Events
