What is IUGS-TGG?
The IUGS Task Group on Geohazards
(TGG) was endorsed at the 70th IUGS
EC meeting, Cape Town, South Africa
during 31st August – 1st September
2016.
Since then, TGG organized
international collaboration teams with a
network system that promote
exchange the information, hold various
sessions, workshops and symposia in
international conferences.
Call for Paper
Special volume on Geological Society of London
Special Publication
Long Title: Global and Societal Impact of Seismic
and Tsunamic Events
Short Title: Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Global
Society
Editors: Y. Dilek, Y. Ogawa and Y. Okubo
The deadline for submission is 30th April 2019.
Description
Our global understanding of earthquake processes and
consequent hazards was revolutionized by the 2004 Sumatra
earthquake and tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake
and tsunami.
Additionally, recent earthquakes in Asia demonstrated that
just relying on traditional knowledge and societal memory is
insufficient to ensure we are protected against future events.
This indicates that further global scientific research on
potential earthquakes and tsunamis is still critically needed.
Description
A number of geohazards events is not so large then we
need to learn global events,
However, our experiences are basically domestic ones
written by domestic languages causing a lack of international
communication.
The proposed special volume aims to archive the global
memories that researchers experienced and promote
international communication on geohazards.
In this context, I hope you or your colleagues contribute to it.
