Dear Colleagues,
For those of you working on earthquake processes and hazards in low strain-rate regions, please consider submitting a contribution to our EGU 2018 (https://egu2018.eu/) session:
SM 2.02/GD2.10/NH4.13/TS5.6

http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/28293
Abstracts can be submitted until 10 January 2018, 13:00 CET: https://egu2018.eu/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html.
We look forward to meeting you in Vienna.
Happy holidays!

SM 2.02/GD2.10/NH4.13/TS5.6
Advances in understanding earthquake processes and hazards in regions of slow lithospheric deformation
Earthquakes that occur within regions of slow lithospheric deformation (low-strain regions) are inherently difficult to study. The long interval between earthquakes, coupled with natural and anthropogenic modification, limit preservation of paleoearthquakes in the landscape. Low deformation rates push the limits of modern geodetic observation techniques. The short instrumental record challenges extrapolation of small earthquake recurrence based on modern seismological measurement to characterize the probability of larger, more damaging earthquakes. Characterizing the earthquake cycle in low-strain settings is further compounded by temporal clustering of earthquakes, punctuated by long periods of quiescence (e.g. non-steady recurrence intervals). However, earthquakes in slowly deforming regions can reach high magnitudes and pose significant risk to populations.
This session seeks to integrate paleoseismic, geomorphic, geodetic, geophysical, and seismologic datasets to provide a comprehensive understanding of the earthquake cycle in low-strain regions. This session will draw upon recent advances in high-resolution topography, geochronology, satellite geodesy techniques, subsurface imaging techniques, longer seismological records, high-density geophysical networks and unprecedented computational power to explore the driving mechanisms for earthquakes in low-strain settings. We welcome contributions that (1) present new observations that place constraints on earthquake occurrence in low-strain regions, (2) explore patterns of stable or temporally varying earthquake recurrence, and (3) provide insight into the mechanisms that control earthquakes in regions of slow deformation via observation and/or modeling.
Conveners: Susana Custódio, Ryan Gold, Pierre Arroucau, Sierd Cloetingh, Simon Kübler, Gordana Vlahovic
