Terrestrial Processes, Deposits & History (TERPRO)

TERPRO encourages the development of research projects that link investigation on Quaternary continental environments and tectonics together with the mitigation of social impacts from natural hazards, such as desertification, extreme climatic events, and active tectonics. 


This commission promotes improved communication and provides a valuable vehicle for international scientific collaborations. It covers the wider spectrum of Quaternary disciplines and coordinates a number of Projects and Working Groups with a broad interdisciplinary perspective. TERPRO actively promotes the use of new field observations in critical regions/fields that show major gaps in the knowledge of Quaternary Terrestrial processes.

TERPRO supports the participation of young scientists from all over the world. One of the goals of the commission is to bring together specialists during scientific events organized within Projects and Working Groups. We actively enhance the participation of members from under-represented groups and countries. Researchers with different backgrounds meet, interact, exchange data and interpretations, and discuss common approaches with the aim of achieving integrated results, especially in the analysis of natural hazards.

At the INQUA congress in Rome, a new TERPRO leadership was confirmed for the inter-congress period. We are also very happy to have a new TERPRO advisory board. With the end of the last inter-congress period, all previous projects terminated and new groups have been formed. Within TERPRO, there are now two International Research Networks (IRNs), one International Skills Activity (ISA), and two working groups. If you are interested in joining any of the projects, working groups or activities, please get in contact with the leaders or drop us an email and we will make sure to connect you with the community ([email protected]). We have a very interesting meeting and workshop program for the inter-congress period 2023-2027.
