Property of Active Fault Damage Zone and Assessment of Fault Activity
Session ID#: 31246
Session Description:
Active faults and related fault damage zone structures that form at shallow depths within the upper crust are closely related to the long-term seismic faulting history of seismogenic faults. Assessment of recent activity of fault zones has a direct societal application in the mitigation of earthquake hazards, especially the identification of potential seismogenic sources, the activity of the source faults including the timing of recent faulting event, long-term seismic faulting behavior and tectonic environment of active faults and fault damage zones. The goal of this session is to bring together different disciplines enhancing our knowledge on the properties and processes of fault damage zones and dating of fault rock materials from field, trenching and drilling of fault zones. We elicit multi-disciplinary contributions from geological, geophysical, geochemical, and thermochronological studies based on the field observations and analyses of fault rock samples, dating fault rock samples, and lab-experiments.
