Thread: AGU S001 session on the mechanics behind aseismic transient slip events

Topics: AGU Meetings
Dear colleagues and friends,

Please consider submitting an abstract to our session "S001 - Advances
in understanding the mechanics behind aseismic transient slip events" at
the 2020 AGU Fall meeting.

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/101972

Slow, aseismic slip provides insight into areas of faults where
frictional properties are conditionally stable. Yet our current
understanding of the mechanics of slow slip transients cannot explain
either their broad diversity, both temporal and spatial, or their
implications for earthquake hazards. Complex interactions with tectonic
tremor, regular earthquakes, or earthquake swarms are often observed,
suggesting a direct, but still unclear connection between aseismic and
seismic slip. Indirect evidence hints that high pore fluid pressures
affect some slow slip events. While slow slip signals were observed
before some large earthquakes, a better understanding of the mechanics
behind aseismic transient slip events could reveal possible forecasting
applications.

This session welcomes: studies of aseismic transient slip observations,
including interactions between aseismic and seismic slip behavior;
studies of the mechanical properties or physics of aseismic transient
slip, including modeling and laboratory work; and studies relating
transient slip processes to seismic hazards.

The abstract submission is open until Wednesday, 29 July 2020, 11:59
p.m., ET.

Sincerely,
