Workshop

Tectonics of the Levant fault
and northern Red Sea

July 8 - 9, 2013 - IPG Paris

The international workshop "Tectonics of the Levant fault and Northern Red Sea" aims at bringing forward new and exiting results, as well as on-going works about the Levant fault and its connection with the Northern Red Sea. This workshop is also the opportunity for researchers from various places to meet, exchange ideas, and propose new projects!
