31.03.2014: TIPTIMON, the Tien-Shan Pamir Monitoring program, holds its Midterm Science Meeting this week at the Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam, GFZ – German Research Centre for Geosciences. About 60 scientists from Germany and Central Asia will share and discuss their recent results on tectonics, climate and geohazards in the Pamir and Tien-Shan mountain region and plan future collaborations. A three-days workshop will give the chance to the PHDs involved in TIPTIMON and to more than twenty guests from Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan to get an overview of the state-of-the art in remote sensing applied for geomorphological analysis and hazard assessment as well as in thermochronology for dating tectonic and erosional processes.

TIPTIMON is a collaborative research project involving partners from GFZ Potsdam (coordinating institution), TU Bergakademie Freiberg, U Tübingen, U Potsdam, Senckenberg Collection Dresden. TIPTIMON is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the framework of the program CAME – Central Asia Monsson Dynamics & Geo-Ecosystems.
