• Understanding the Unknowns: Communicating Uncertainty as a Driving Force for Geosciences
  Tübingen. Germany
  17–19 March 2025
  

  This training aims to equip ECRs with skills needed to account for and communicate uncertainty in geosciences with their peers and the public audience(s). The training is motivated by a need for achieving meaningful insights from geosciences outputs (e.g., maps, models, simulations, time series) which are used for decision-making, but often presented unaccompanied by uncertainty estimates. The content focus will be on uncertainty communication related to global challenges.

• Recent Developments and Applications in earth sciences and archaeology of electron probe micro-analysis
  Online event
  24–27 March 2025

  This workshop aims to bring the community together to discuss all aspects of normal mode seismology; researchers that develop new theory and computational methods, those that work on new long-period instrumentation and observations and researchers who utilise long-period data across different applications.

April

• Deformation Processes in the Lower Crust (Bohemian Massif, Austria).
  Bohemian Massif, Austria
  26–27 April 2025
  

  The training school aims to provide a brief outlook on the processes occurring in orogenic root domains on the example of the Bohemian Massif in Austria. Special focus will be given to deformation structures and strain partitioning between rocks of different composition and rheology. The excellent exposures in the Bohemian Massif gives a great opportunity to study the interplay between mineralogical changes and deformation processes in the lower crust.
