Topo-Europe 2019 Conference

Scope

Tectonic activity and topographic evolution are intimately linked. This is most powerfully expressed in subduction systems, where geodynamic and geomorphic processes are connected across depths and time scales from individual earthquakes to climate-driven erosion, plate deformation and slab-mantle interactions. The imprint of all these processes and their links is not only found in the surface topography of subduction systems, but also in their exposed geology and patterns of deformation with attendant hazards. Understanding of the dynamics of subduction systems is advanced by the combined reading of these geophysical, geologic and geomorphic imprints, complemented by physical and numerical modelling.

Key questions
  • What is the topographic expression of the subduction cycle?
  • What are the measurable effects of slab bending and tear at the Earth’s surface?
  • How have these topographic expressions of subduction processes affected surface process systems, from sediment production and routing to atmospheric and oceanic circulation?
  • How strong are the effects of erosion and sedimentation on subduction processes at depth?
  • What are the spatial and temporal scales on which the subduction system responds to perturbations and changes of boundary conditions?
  • This conference brings together researchers from across the spectrum of Geosciences to discuss these questions with insights from models and field and instrumental observations, integrating across time scales and process domains.
