ICCGIS 2022

A group of authors of IEPT RAS presented the Institute’s WEB-GIS current state which unites desktop geoinformation projects of different scientific groups and gives users a possibility to view the projects data. Content of two projects was described: prediction of earthquakes on a global scale and two regional projects (Black and Caspian Seas, Italy) on the seismogenic nodes and lineaments.

The Variability of Earthquake Parameters with the Depth: Evidences of Difference of Mechanisms of Generation of the Shallow, Intermediate-Depth, and the Deep Earthquakes

At the high pressures and temperatures typical of the Earth’s interior, the brittle failure in accordance with the generally accepted Reid elastic rebound model cannot occur at depths greater than a few dozen kilometers. Nevertheless, earthquakes do occur at depths to about 700 km depth and some more.

Joint ICTP-IUGG Workshop on Data Assimilation and Inverse Problems in Geophysical Sciences

There is the Workshop on Data Assimilation and Inverse Problems in Trieste Italy. It started on 18 October and will end on 29 October 2021.

The workshop organized jointly by the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), ICTP, and EAIFR will discuss applications of data assimilation and inverse problem methodologies to specific geophysical fields. The related scientific progress may contribute to the solutions of major societal challenges, such as climatic and environmental changes, disaster risk reduction, and sustainability.

You can still join the Workshop and listen to lectures from world leading scientists.
