Webinars

Webinars are organized on the first Thursday of each month at 2:30 pm UTC (4:30 pm in Paris, 9:30 am in Santiago, Chile).

Our webinars are a lively space to share research, exchange ideas, and build collaborations on subduction dynamics and related hazards (earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, landslides).

Organizing team :
 Virginie Durand (Géoazur)
 Nestor Cerpa (Géosciences Montpellier)
 Théa Ragon (ISTerre)
