PATA is the most significant workshop on paleoseismology and active tectonics of the INQUA Focus Group “Earthquake Geology and Seismic Hazard (IFG EGSHaz)”. For first time in South America, we are honored to host the 10th PATA Days event in the hyperarid coastal region of the Atacama Desert. Located in the active continental margin formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate; a unique tectonic setting for the assessment of megathrust episodes, upper-plate paleo-earthquakes, and paleotsunami records, and their relationship with surface processes and landscape evolution at the Quaternary timescale.
The registration for PATA DAYS include shared rooms, breakfast, lunch, coffee break, and dinner. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the registration fee.
One day pre-and post-meeting field trips are included in the program to visit fault scarps related to the Atacama Fault System, faulted and uplifted marine terraces and coastal geomorphology.
Additionally, the 2020 PATA workshop includes two optional pre-meeting and post-meeting fieldtrips to visit historical and prehistorical coastal records of large tsunamigenic megathrusts and upper-plate fault activity.
Optional pre-Meeting Field Trip to commemorate the legacy of Ricardo Thiele / November 5-6-7, 2020: “Paleoseismology of the San Ramón Fault and Quaternary tectonics of the Andes of Santiago”.
Optional post-Meeting Field Trips to commemorate the legacy of Luc Ortlieb / November 13-14-15, 2020: “Subduction earthquake processes, near surface ruptures and Quaternary landscape evolution in the northern Chilean forearc”
We have limited funds available for Early Career Researchers (ECRs), and Researchers from Developing Countries (DCRs) are all eligible to receive a grant that will pay for registration fees, hotel accommodations and meals. In addition, ECRs living abroad are eligible to receive a grant for traveling support. ECRs are scientists within seven years of their latest degree (BSc., MSc., PhD), and who not hold a permanent position. We count students as ECRs Based on the number of applicants we will support registration fees and maybe also travel costs. Your brief application must include the following:
Apply below in the Application Form link before February 28
Please note that we cannot pay any support in advance.
We expect everyone who receives funding to present a study at the conference (oral or poster), so do not forget to submit an abstract, otherwise your application will not be considered.
