Thread: SSA 2021 Session - Amphibious Seismic Studies of Plate Boundary Structure and Processes

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the following session of the virtual 2021 Seismological Society of America (SSA) Annual Meeting (April 19-23). The abstract deadline is January 13, 2021 at 5 p.m. Pacific.

See https://www.seismosoc.org/attending-ssa-2021/ for meeting and submission details.


Session Title
Amphibious Seismic Studies of Plate Boundary Structure and Processes

Description
Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of shore-crossing seismic experiments aimed at characterizing seismicity, deformation and structure at continental margins. Many studies use controlled source imaging in conjunction with continuous recordings of natural seismic sources. Examples of data integration include using ocean-bottom seismometer data in both disciplines and combining results from shallower, high-resolution imaging with deeper, lithospheric-scale studies to understand structures that influence seismicity and plate boundary processes. We invite contributions from the community of seismologists studying plate boundary processes at the transition from onshore to offshore (ocean or lake) environments, including subduction zones, active or relict rifted margins and transform faults.

Invited Speakers
Kathy Davenport, Sandia National Laboratory
