Call for abstracts Session TS2.1 "Continental rift evolution: from inception to break-up"
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our session on rifts and rifted margins entitled "Continental Rift Evolution: from inception to break-up" at the EGU 2026 General Assembly on 03 – 08 May 2026 in Vienna.
We invite submissions addressing the evolution of rift processes such as faults development, tectonic, magmatic and sedimentary history, influence of the pre-rift lithospheric structure, rift kinematics, mantle flow as well as break-up and the transition to seafloor spreading.
We encourage contributions using multi-disciplinary and innovative methods from field geology, geochronology, geochemistry, petrology, geophysics, and modelling. Emphasis will be given to presentations that bridge spatial and temporal scales and integrate insights from active rifts, passive margins, or failed rift arms.
For the full session description and abstract submission link, see:
https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/session/56662
Invited speakers:
Rita Kounoudis "The Importance of Past Rifting in Large Igneous Province Development: Insights from the Turkana Depression, East Africa"
Kim Welford "Continental ribbons within the southern North Atlantic rift system: attributes, origins, and consequences"
Important Deadlines and Milestones:
- Deadline for (travel) support applications: December 1st, 2025 (13:00 CET)
- Deadline for abstract submission: January 15th, 2026 (13:00 CET)
- Deadline for early-bird registration: April 1st, 2026 (13:00 CET)
More general information on the conference, which is planned to be held both on site (in Vienna) and online.

Looking forward to meeting you in May 2026!
Kind regards,

Call for abstracts Session NH9.14 - Lesson learnt and perspective on risk communication and preparedness
Co-sponsored by INHIGEO-IUGS
Convener: Loredana Nada Elvira Giani | Co-conveners: Claudia Principe, Piotr Krzywiec
This trans-disciplinary session goes beyond the disciplinary boundaries of Earth science research to address socially relevant issues by integrating disciplinary paradigms or conducting participatory research. External communication of geological risk is essential for approving effective risk prevention policies and implementing mitigation plans, as well as for implementing resilience pathways for the institutions and populations concerned and increasing trust in institutions. For this reason, studying how these phenomena have been addressed in the past can help plan future resilience actions. The session deals with the communication of different types of geological risks through time. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and landslides have always been part of the Earth's dynamics, but actions aimed at ensuring the mitigation of this type of disaster by society, and therefore, institutional actions aimed at mitigating risk - as assessed and represented in the relevant scientific forums - have become an increasingly urgent objective with the worsening of climate change and the current increase in land use and land consumption. For these reasons, stakeholders, collaborators from academia and beyond, first and second responder and civil society, along with the third sector are invited to participate in the session with contributions related to case studies on how institutions have addressed social crises induced by one or more geological phenomena; how institutions incorporate risk into their actions and policy programs, preparing appropriate measures for its mitigation; and what have been the difficulties in communicating the various types of risk present or that have become present as a result of a catastrophic event and any mitigation measures that may have been taken; how scientists have sought in the past to communicate a risk situation in order to activate the chain of civil responsibility for the possibility of one or more events occurring.
The deadline for abstract submission is: January 15, 2026
