9th “Castle Meeting“ on Palaeo, Rock and Environmental Magnetism, held in Javorina, Slovakia, 27 June, 3 July, 2004 The 9 th meeting on Palaeo, Rock and Environmental Magnetism, organised jointly by the Geophys. Inst. of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava and Geophys. Inst. of the Academy of Sciences of Czech Rep. in Prague was held in Javorina, Slovakia, in wonderful surroundings of High Tatras National Park. The meeting was hosted by a hotel Kolowrat (www.hotelkolowrat.sk), originally erected for the purposes of recreation of top communist leaders of former Czechoslovakia. The hotel, only recently reconstructed, offers high comfort, spacious rooms, very good conference hall, and various activities, ranging from swimming pool, through bowling, to hiking and mountaineering. Surrounded by deep forests and green meadows, participants could benefit from calm atmosphere, probably disturbed only by brown bears, occasionally inspecting garbage cans behind the hotel in the night. Topics of the Meeting included wide range of rock magnetic subjects, such as palaeomagnetism and tectonics, magnetic anisotropy, archeomagnetism, assessment of quality of the palaeomagnetic and rock-magnetic data, general rock magnetism and its physical background, magnetostratigraphy, environmental magnetism, relations between palaeomagnetism and global changes, new techniques and approaches. Several oral and poster presentations resulted from two EU-funded projects: AARCH Research and Training Network, and MAGPROX Research Project. Abtracts of the Meeting were distributed in a form of special issue of a journal Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, published by the Geophys. Inst. in Bratislava. Some of the contributions were published in an international journal Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica (Vol. 49(2005), No.2, www.springerlink.com). The scientific programme was well combined with social activities, such as trips to the region or an evening concert of organ music an a histrocial town of Levoča, as well as following the evening matches at Euro 2004 in Portugal. Some basic figures about the attendance; the number of active participants was 76, plus 10 accompanying persons. The participants came from altogether 25 countries from Europe, America and Asia. Out of the 76 active participants, 30 were young researchers (PhDs and PostDocs). Gender issue is well reflected by the portion of female participants, which was 42%. A financial support, 61
provided by IAGA, was used to cover partly travel costs of 6 participants, either coming from the former Soviet Union, or young PhD students. The forthcoming, jubilee 10 th meeting (www.ig.cas.cz/Castle2006), will be held at Castle of Valtice in the Czech Republic, in a centre of wine production. We believe that the promising trend of high ratio of female and young participants will be further enhanced. EC Project „Developing Existing Earthquake Data Infrastructures Towards a Mediterranean-European Rapid Earthquake Data Information and Archiving Network“ (MEREDIAN), 2000-2005 The MEREDIAN project aimed at a significant upgrade of the European seismological data infrastructure built up by the Observatories and Research Facilities for EUropean Seismology (ORFEUS) since 1987 and to disseminate techniques and software to other observatories within Europe and its surroundings. ORFEUS, residing at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, had the central role of a coordinator of the project. The aim of MEREDIAN was one homogeneous European-Mediterranean seismological data infrastructure allowing rapid and free access to earthquake data and information for basic research and reliable and fast access to earthquake information for decision-makers and the public. The project included a significant investment in coordinating and providing modern standardised software to enable data users to access, view and perform basic analysis on the earthquake data. The original MEREDIAN consortium consisted of 10 European countries (France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Spain, Slovenia, Greece and Italy). Eight newly accepted states to EC (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia and Malta) joined the project in April 2002. High-quality broadband data from 5 seismological stations operated by the Geophysical Institute ASCR (GI-ASCR) are transferred in real-time to the ORFEUS Data Center and included into the Virtual Europenan Broadband Seismograph Network. All continuous broadband data since 2000 to present are available at GI-ASCR on request through the AutoDRM service by email. The archiving capacity of the GI-ASCR data center increased considerably during the Meredian project. GI-ASCR organized 3 regional meetings attented by most of the participating countries. 62
