Fwd: Symposium in marine seismology and geodesy 2026

[Matt Wei]

Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a workshop in Europe around EGU 2026 on seafloor geodesy and seismology. Please take a look at the information below if you are interested in joining. You can submit your preferred dates for the workshop, which could put the workshop in the dates that are convenient for you.

Dear Colleagues

This message follows on the previous exchanges with Valérie regarding the organization of a symposium in 2026.

Marmor is a national project aiming at promoting marine geodey and seismology in France. As scientists, we all know that we will we go faster and further by joining forces with other like-minded groups world-wide.  Within Marmor, we thus propose to organize in 2026 an international symposium with the following objectives:

1. To gather the different groups active in developing  tools and methods in marine seismology and marine geodesy world-wide
2. To review the latter developments and advances in the field
3. To Initiate collaborations by stimulating synergy between the different groups (including for rapid intervention)
4. To elaborate ambitious scientific projects in the field

Funded by the french government, the symposium will be held in Brittany (France) in 2026 (preferably during  the most sunny season, but outside summer hollidays). In addition, the duration of the symposium must be sufficiently long to attract long-distance traveling guests and to create the desired synergy. Ideally, four to five days, yet to be discussed  (e.g. 2 for geodesy and 2 or 3 for seismology.

Regarding marine geodesy and as mentionned in the previous exchanges between Valérie, Matt, Heidrunn and Laura, we agree that it would be a very good idea to organize at the same time  the future event of the Joint Group of Marine Geophysicists and Physical Oceanographers (JGMGPO), that was initially planned at Geomar :

Before all, we need to choose the date and the formula (4 or 5 days).  This is why we propose that you select  your best calendar option by clicking the link below :

Please fill free to send the survey to the colleagues you absolutely want to attract.

Replies are expected before april 2, 2025.

Yours
