Scientific Program

The aim of the Workshop is to discuss recent achievements within a frame of the following trends (sections):

·         Destruction of rocks, mathematical and physical modeling of the processes in the fracture zones, space-time regularities of the development of the earthquake zones, fractal and multifractal structure of seismisity, influence of trigger mechanisms on the instability of rocks

·         Theory of catastrophes and phase transitions in open systems, self-organized criticity, collective behavior of ruptures

·         Examples of emerging of earthquake precursors, methods for their distinguishing from the noise background, new approaches to the forecasting of the earthquakes, prognostic techniques and algorithms, methods and software for revealing prognostic anomalies from the complex of seismic, geophysical, hydrodynamic and geochemical parameters.   

Along these trends invited lectures will be given by the leading researchers. Oral and poster contributions will be selected by the Organizing Committee from the submitted abstracts. Collection of the Abstracts will be published.

            Competition for the best presentation will be held among young (age below 35) participants (researchers, Ph.D. students, students).

            Workshop will be concluded by the Panel Discussion.
