The EarthFlows Meeting is an annual event on its 7th edition, and part of a strategic research initiative for cross-disciplinary research at the University of Oslo, Norway. This year's seminar will be held on June 3rd and 4th 2021 on Zoom. To sign up and get link to seminar, please fill in this form.
The EarthFlows Meeting bring together top researchers from various disciplines (geoscience, mathematics, material science, theoretical and experimental physics), who have different perspectives on interface dynamics, flows and deformations in complex systems. Below is the program for this year's meeting.
