15th General Assembly of WEGENER

We are proud to announce the 15th General Assembly of WEGENER (WEGENER 2010), which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. We celebrate the 30th anniversary of the foundation of WEGENER.

The WEGENER project aims to bring together geoscientists interested in using geodetic techniques to measure and understand the 3D surface motion in Europe and the Mediterranean. The 15th Assembly of WEGENER will provide a forum for presentation, discussion, coordination and scientific support for geoscientists interested in unraveling the kinematics and mechanisms of the broad Eurasian/African/Arabian collision zone. Contributions on new aspects arising from the new satellite missions for gravity, SAR and Laser Altimetry are welcome in particular. The meeting is organized by the Geodesy Department of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) of Boğaziçi University and will be held in Istanbul (2010 European Capital of Culture) at the Albert Long Hall of Boğaziçi University.

Proceedings

Authors are invited to electronically submit abstracts (sample abstract in DOC format).

An abstract volume will be available at the conference and the papers or presentations that are made available at the conference will be published on a CD-ROM and be sent to the participants.

A selection of papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Geodynamics (indexed by SCI) by Elsevier. The selection will be based on a peer review process and authors willing to undergo this process will have to submit their papers by November 1st, 2010.

Poster Guidelines

Each presenter is provided with a 1.4 meters high by 1.2 meters wide poster board (useable work area).

bullet

The presentation must cover the material as cited in the abstract.

bullet

Place the title of your paper and authors' names at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify your paper.

bullet

Highlight the authors' names, e-mails, and address information in case the viewer is interested in contacting you for more information.

bullet

Prepare all diagrams or charts neatly and legibly beforehand in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2 meters. Paragraph and figure caption text should be AT LEAST 24-point font (0.9 cm height) and headers AT LEAST 36 point font (1.2 cm height).

bullet

Use different colors and textures/symbols for each line or bar contained in your graph or chart. A serif font (e.g., Times) is often easier for reading main text, and a non-serif font (e.g., Arial or Helvetica) for headers and figure labels.

bullet

Organize the paper on the poster board so it is clear, orderly, and self-explanatory.

bullet

Use squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to group similar ideas. Avoid cluttering your poster with too much text.

bullet

Include the background of your research followed by results and conclusions.

bullet

Please prepare a 2-minute short introduction about your poster for the poster session. Posters will be on display throughout the whole conference, i.e. from Wednesday morning to Friday noon.
