TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise Exploratory workshop Budapest, Hungary March, 2005 ESF ILP Academia Europaea ELTE ISES Sierd Cloetingh

Rationale for TOPO-EUROPE Continental topography is a product of the interaction between processes taking place deep in the Earth, on its surface and in the atmosphere Topography influences society, not only in terms of slow processes of landscape change but also in terms of how it affects climate The present state and behaviour of the Shallow Earth System is a consequence of processes on a wide range of time scales, including: - tectonic long term effects on uplift, subsidence - river systems - residual effects of the ice ages on crustal movement - natural climate and environmental changes - powerful anthropogenic impacts of the last century The impact of mantle- and lithospheric-scale processes affecting intraplate areas has only recently been recognised TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise

General objectives of TOPO-EUROPE To provide interdisciplinary forum to share knowledge and information in the field of the topography evolution of Europe To integrate national research programmes in a common European framework To promote Europe as the international scientific leader in the field of continental topography research TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise

4D picture of topography evolution of Europe Quantification of source-to-sink relations to quantify sediment budgets Quantification of land subsidence in the basins and deltas of Europe Quantification of land uplift in orogens Quantification of river tectonics Specific objectives of TOPO-EUROPE TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise

TOPO-EUROPE will link geology, geophysics and geotechnology TOPO-EUROPE will integrate monitoring, imaging, process oriented reconstruction and modelling TOPO-EUROPE will promote the natural laboratory concept TOPO-EUROPE will integrate European research facilities and know-how to advance a better understanding of the role of topography in Environmental Earth System Dynamics Key elements of TOPO-EUROPE TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise

Comprehensive monitoring programs including satellite, surface and borehole monitoring instruments Large-scale geomechanical, geochemical and geobiological laboratory facilities Top quality geoinformation databases containing historical data on global and regional changes in combination with the vulnerability of natural and human habitats Know-how base on geo-motion modelling and simulation, as well as on risk and impact assessment TOPO-EUROPE aims to integrate distributed facilities and know-how TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise

EXAMPLES Within the orogen: Alps/Carpathians – Pannonian basin system In front of the orogen: North European platform, Iberia Far-field studies: Atlantic continental margin TOPO-EUROPE promotes the natural laboratory concept from orogen through platform to continental margin TOPO-EUROPE: 4D Topography Evolution in Europe: Uplift, Subsidence and Sea Level Rise
