The training is intended to provide a unique opportunity to the participants to be directly exposed to principles of paleoseismology and to benefit of a hands-on experience on the development of a full field and lab paleoseismology project assisted by an international team of experts. The course will last 10 days and includes everyday lectures and field and lab practical activities concerning all the aspects related to the development of a paleoseismology project from geomorphology to trenching, dating and seismic hazard evaluation. Lecturers and instructors are European and international experts with the diverse expertise needed to accomplish the whole paleoseismological-hazard process. Lecture room and accommodation are set within ca.
Participation is open to ca.
20 young scientists trained in earthquake geology, active tectonics, quaternary geology, and geomorphology. Priority is given to participants from Europe and broader Mediterranean area, but also participants form seismic-prone developing countries are welcomed. Participation of female young researchers is encouraged. All the participants are requested to join for the whole duration of the course. Grants are available to cover students' travel and accommodation.
