TOPO-EUROPE - 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise
stands for the geoscience of coupled deep Earth and surface processes, taking Europe and its continental margins as a natuarl laboratory. TOPO-EUROPE pursues an integrated solid Earth science approach, closely linking monitoring ans seismic imaging with reconstruction of the geological record and process modeling.
The TopoAsia initiative is designed to deliver a transformative understanding of Asia’s topographic evolution by explicitly framing relief change as a four-dimensional problem-three spatial dimensions plus geologic time. Building on state-of-the-art methods in geology, geochemistry, geophysics, sedimentology, paleoclimate simulation and numerical geodynamic modeling, TopoAsia will integrate these disciplines into a cohesive research program that links deep-Earth drivers to surface expression and vice versa.
