WEGENER 2012 General Assembly (FWD Message from Mustapha MEGHRAOUI)


For the past 31 years, the WEGENER project (now a Sub-commission 3.5
of IAG commission 3) has served as a forum to coordinate, and provide
linkage for, multidisciplinary projects on Earth deformation and
dynamics. The research focus is on crustal deformation. This includes
the seasonal distribution of surface loading, the earthquake cycle,
volcanic processes (eruptions, dike intrusions, induced seismic
activity), near surface motions (landslides, induced and natural
superficial subsidence/collapse). Recently, major earthquakes in
Sumatra (2004, Mw 9.2), Maule (2010, Mw 8.8), Haiti (2010, Mw 7.1) and
Tohoku (2011, Mw 9.0) have exposed the impact of such events and the
need for better understanding of Earth deformation processes. Other
fields of interest include sea level changes, as well as monitoring
atmospheric and ionospheric processes to further our understanding of
space weather and climate.

The EOST and IPG Strasbourg welcome all potential contributors to the
16th Wegener General Assembly. We particularly seek submissions that
emphasize multidisciplinary studies of Earth deformation using
geodetic techniques (GPS, InSAR, LiDAR, space/air/terrestrial gravity,
ground-based geodetic observations), complementary tectonic and
geophysical observations, and modeling approaches. We also welcome
fundamental studies of natural and induced physical phenomena,
strategies to develop early warning and rapid response systems,
education and development programs.
