T52A:
Active Tectonics, Earthquake Geology, and Surface Processes in South and East Asia III


Session ID#: 10727

Session Description:
South and East Asia is one of the most tectonically active regions in the world. In the past decade or so, many destructive earthquakes, both on-land and offshore, have struck this region. The sudden deformations associated with these events are small, incremental components of larger and longer-lasting tectonic processes. These short and long-term tectonic processes not only illuminate each other, but they also interact with atmospheric and earth surface processes to shape the Earth’s topography. In this session, we welcome the participation of scientists who work at all aspects of these interactions. We encourage submissions from scientists in all related disciplines, including seismology, geodetic analysis, tectonic geomorphology, paleoseismology, paleotsunami and modeling.
