Thread: EGU Session “Earthquakes, active tectonics, and seismic hazard in regions of slow lithospheric deformation” at the EGU General Assembly in Vienna, Austria

Dear colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to session TS5.4/NH4.18/SM2.10 “Earthquakes, active tectonics, and seismic hazard in regions of slow lithospheric deformation” at the EGU General Assembly in Vienna, Austria (April 7-12, 2019).

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.

More details can be found at: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/30723

The abstract submission deadline is January 10, 2019.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Ryan Gold on behalf of
Pierre Arroucau, Sierd Cloetingh, Susana Custodio, and Gordana Vlahovic
