6th International Conference on Fractals and Dynamic Systems in Geoscience, to take place in Perugia, Italy, 26 Sept. – 2 Oct. 2013

We are pleased to invite you to the VI International Conference on Fractals and Dynamic Systems in Geoscience held from September 26^th to October 02^nd 2013 in Perugia (Italy).

The aim of this conference is to present the latest research and techniques in the application of fractals and dynamic systems to Earth systems, with emphases on predictability of geological risks, natural resources and climate change.

The conference welcomes contributions on all applications of fractals and dynamic systems in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Invited Speakers include Shaun Lovejoy (McGill University, CA), Ian Main (The University of Edinburgh, UK), Heinz Otto Peitgen (Jacobs University Bremen, DE), Hans Joachim Schellnhuber (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, DE), Cristian Suteanu (Saint Mary’s University, CA).

The conference will be preceded by three days of workshops aimed at training researchers on the use of fractals and dynamic systems methods and techniques on following topics:

• Anisotropy and Inhomogeneity Quantification of Rock Fabrics (J.H. Kruhl & M. Peternell, Technical University Munich and Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz, DE)

• Fractals and Natural Resources (T. Blenkinsop, James Cook University, AU)

• Fractal-Geometry-Based Treatment of Geohazards (C. Suteanu, Saint Mary’s University, CA)
