T42A:
Active Tectonics and the Earthquake Cycle: Approaches, Observations, Insights II


Session ID#: 10723

Session Description:
Paleoseismic and geomorphic studies have contributed significantly over the last several decades to the conceptual understanding of fault activity and earthquake recurrence. Respective studies interpret surface and subsurface evidence of faulting to constrain a fault’s earthquake history and slip-rate. Recent advances in high-resolution surface and sub-surface imaging (e.g., GPR, GPS, InSAR, Lidar, SfM), geochronologic dating techniques, and change detection algorithms (e.g., Lidar differencing) provide means to further refine conceptual understanding of earthquake slip distribution, recurrence, and strain accumulation.
This sessions seeks to provide a stage for studies focussing on active tectonics and earthquake cycle, utilizing surface and sub-surface records of faulting. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on a) implementation of high-resolution imaging approaches into active tectonics investigations (e.g., of recent surface ruptures), b) new data sets that constrain recurrence characteristics or strain accumulation along individual faults, and c) condense respective data sets to update/modify/refine models of earthquake rupture recurrence.
