4th IWGoRS Meeting in Tutzing, Germany, 20-23 June, 2016

The 4th IWGoRS workshop will be held at the Evangelische Akademie Tutzing (near Munich, Germany), June 20-23, 2016. The workshop will focus on any aspect of rotational ground motion including the recording of rotations, instrumentation, earthquake sources, non-standard rheologies, inverse problems, geodesy, earthquake engineering, long-period seismology, array-derived rotation, noise-correlation studies, ring laser technology, Earth's rotation, problems of fundamental physics and others. The meeting is co-funded by the ERC project ROMY and the ESF project TIDES. Registration is possible  here. Registration deadline January 31, 2016.

The Venue:

The meeting will be held at the Evangelische Akademie Tutzing, a conference center located in the small town of Tutzing at the shore of the Starnberg lake near Munich. Tutzing can be reached from the Munich Airport by commuter train (duration approx. 1:25 hrs). Info is available at http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de (also in English). If you arrive at the Munich Airport follow the signs to the trains. Buy a ticket to "Tutzing". Take train S1 (direction München-Ost) and get off at Munich-Laim (after approx 40 mins). Change to platform 1 and take train S6 (direction Tutzing) and get off at Tutzing (after approx. 40 mins.). Follow the signs to the "Evangelische Akademie Tutzing". The following graphic shows the way to the venue (10 mins walk). Please get in touch if you have questions.
