2nd School on Subduction Zone Processes, Cargese, France, October 19-25, 2026

[Anne Socquet]

Dear colleagues, 

We are please to announce the 2nd school on Subduction processes to be held at IESC Cargese, Corsica, France, from October 19 to 23, 2026.

The objective of this school is to provide students and young researchers with an overview of the state of the art and current challenges in the study of active subduction. We aim at gathering specialists of different fields, including geodynamic modelers, geologists, seismologists, geodesists, geophysicists to build bridges between these different disciplines and come up with a broad overview of the processes at stake in subduction zones. We also aim at discussing their potential interaction-retroaction effects.

A 2-day field trip in Alpine Corsica will take place during the weekend following the school (October 24–25, 2026). 

Preregistrations and abstract submission are open until May 10th, 2026.  

Looking forward to seeing you in Cargèse!
