The seismotectonic characteristics are dominated by the convergence of the African and Arabian plates towards Anatolia, resulting in active large continental faults (Dead Sea Fault, East Anatolian Fault and North Anatolian Fault) that generate destructive earthquakes. In previous centuries, the Arabian tectonic plate has been moving northward at ~18 mm/yr and has been colliding with the Anatolia. This tectonic shift has been behind the earthquakes for millennia in the area.</li> <li>The area of southern Türkiye and northern Syria has been severely hit by the Mw 7.8 and 7.6 earthquakes on 6 February 2023, following by aftershocks reaching Mw 6.7. This seismic activity is responsible of devastations of large cities such as Kahramanmaras, Antachia and Aleppo reaching 45 000 victims.</li> <li>The East Anatolian Fault has a long seismic record and was identified as a seismically hazardous area. No earthquakes greater than magnitude 7.0 have been recorded on the fault since the instrumental period. The 6 February 2023 earthquakes were larger than what was most likely anticipated.</li> <li>Lessons learned from this recent seismic crisis and previous earthquakes can now be applied in the Mediterranean region and beyond for a better seismic hazard and risk assessment. And the most recent disaster can serve as a warning to be ready for earthquakes to come along main active faults.</li> <li>A <a href="index.php?p=turkey-Syria-earthquake">special session</a> on these topics will be organized alongside the MedGU-23. Researchers working on any topic related to the Science of Earthquakes are welcome to submit a short abstract by the deadline (31 July 2023).</li> </ul> <br> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="idnn" class="cms-container cms-highlight-0" style=""> <div class="row"> <div class="columns small-12 small-centered"> <div class="cms-quote"> <h3 style=" font-weight: 600;color: #f3712e;">MedGU-21 and MedGU-22</h3> <div class="cms-quote-text"> <br> <div class="richtext richtext-default"> <div class="flexContent on_mobile_center_margin_0"> <div> <iframe width="480" height="260" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zmnI8swJruY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmnI8swJruY" target="_blank"><span style="">MedGU-21 Movie</span></a></div> </div> <div> <iframe width="480" height="260" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QZNiVF-HQtw" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZNiVF-HQtw" target="_blank"><span style="">MedGU-22 Movie</span></a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="idnn" class="cms-container cms-highlight-1" style=""> <div class="row"> <div class="columns small-12 small-centered"> <div class="cms-quote"> <div class="cms-quote-text"> <br> <div class="richtext richtext-default"> <div class="flexContent"> <div style=" order: 2; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: flex-end; margin-left: 65px;"> <a href="https://www.springer.com/series/15883" target="_blank"> <img src="source/jornal-asti.png" style=" margin-top: 20px; text-align: justify;"> <div class="link_scopus_in_home " style="width: 266px"> <div class="logo_scopus"> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101032300" target="_blank"> <img src="source/partenaire/scopus_preview-withe.svg" alt=""></a> </div> <div class="desc_logo_scopus"> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101032300" target="_blank"> Click on Scopus Preview to discover the latest Cite Score </a> </div> </div> </a> <div style="text-align: justify; width: 266px;"> <div style="font-size: 14px"> <a href="https://www.springer.com/series/15883" target="_blank">ASTI Book Series</a> (Springer/IEREK) is the official series of MedGU.

It is hoped that the union will also provide opportunities to Mediterranean geoscientists to undertake interdisciplinary collaborative research. MedGU plans to recognize the work of the most active geoscientists with a number of awards and medals. </p> <p> Although MedGU has not yet been officially inaugurated, its first annual meeting was organized in November 2021 in Istanbul (MedGU-21) and the second meeting was organized in Marrakech (MedU-22). This has provided a forum to achieve a consensus for the formation of this non-profit international union of geoscientists. Membership will be open to individuals who have a professional engagement with the Earth, planetary and space sciences and related studies, including students and retired seniors. </p> <p> Nabil Khélifi (MedGU Founder, Germany) and Attila Çiner (MedGU Interim President, Türkiye) have taken an ambitious approach to the launch of the third <a href="index.php?p=welcome">MedGU 3<sup>rd</sup> Annual Meeting 2023</a> and hope to develop it the near future into the largest international geoscience event in the Mediterranean and the broader MENA region. Its mission is to support geoscientists based in this region by establishing a Global Geoscience Congress. </p> <p> It is expected that hundreds of participants from all over the world will attend this third MedGU Annual Meeting 2023, making it one of the largest and most prominent geosciences event in the region. The meeting’s sessions will cover a wide range of topics with more details available on the <a href="index.php?p=tracks">Conference Tracks</a>. </p> <p> This third MedGU 2023 Annual Meeting will have a "hybrid" format, with both in-person and virtual participation. Springer, its publishing partner, will publish the proceedings in a book series (indexed in Scopus) as well as a number of special issues in diverse scientific journals (for more details, see <a href="index.php?p=special-issue">Publications</a>). </p> <br> <div class="founder"> <h3>MedGU Founder</h3> <div class="flexContent content-medgu-person"> <div class="description-medgu-person"> <div class="title-boder-medgu-person"> "We want to establish a large influential organization for the Mediterranean region with the objective of fostering fundamental and applied geoscience research that addresses key societal and environmental challenges" </div> <div class="cms-richtext" > <p> In recent years, as in-house Senior Editor for Springer Nature for the Middle East and Africa, I have had the opportunity to meet many successful geoscientists from the region and I have come to realize how difficult it is for many of them to travel to international conferences to show their work and build collaborations. It is my belief that a large event organized through a single federation representing the geoscience community around the Mediterranean and in the broader MENA region could be of enormous benefit. </p> </div> </div> <div class="photo-medgu-person"> <img src="source/Nabil-Khelifi.jpg?v=4" alt=""> <div class="affilication-photo-medgu-person"> <h3>Nabil Khélifi</h3> Expert Publisher / Senior Editor<br> MedGU Founder<br> MedGU-23 Supervisor </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="interim"> <h3>MedGU (Interim) President</h3> <div class="flexContent content-medgu-person" > <div class="photo-medgu-person"> <img src="source/Attila-Ciner.jpg?v=4" alt=""> <div class="affilication-photo-medgu-person" > <h3>Attila Çiner</h3> Professor, Istanbul Technical University<br> MedGU (Interim) President<br> MedGU-23 Chair<br> </div> </div> <div class="description-medgu-person"> <div class="cms-richtext"> <div class="title-boder-medgu-person"> "The creation of this union will give the Earth sciences more influence in policy-making and in the implementation of solutions for more sustainable societies in the Mediterranean region" </div> <p> We aim to create a unique federation that brings together the Mediterranean geoscience community.
