Thread: AGU Session T028. Interplay between structure, fluids, and deformation processes at subduction zones

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to our session at the 2019 AGU Fall Meeting: T028. Interplay between structure, fluids, and deformation processes at subduction zones (https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/75877). The session description is as below. The submission deadline is 31 July, 2019 at 23:59 EDT.

T028. Interplay between structure, fluids, and deformation processes at subduction zones

Deformation processes at subduction zones span a vast range of spatial and temporal scales and contribute to the long-term margin evolution and mass transport through the earthquake cycle and beyond. Individual earthquakes and slow slip events involve complex patterns of deformation and fluid effects. Various modes of elastic, viscous, and plastic deformation shape the structure across the plate boundary fault zone, and within both the upper and lower plates during individual events and over longer timescales. Numerous recent onshore and offshore investigations have connected fault slip, fault zone and wall rock properties, and highlight the interplay between structure, fluids, and deformation processes in the subduction system. In this session, we invite contributions studying the key controls of subduction zone deformation, structural evolution, the role of fluids, and the associated geohazards. Multi-disciplinary contributions from geological, geophysical, and laboratory !
experimental studies, as well as modeling studies that integrate observations, are all welcome.

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
