Earthquake geology & active tectonics sessions at vEGU21

This year’s EGU will be held from 19-30 April. It will be another virtual conference, which is why it’s named vEGU21. Anyway, there are many interesting sessions, and a couple of them could be very interesting for paleoseismologists, earthquake geologists, and active tectonics aficionados. For example, EDITH is also a project of INQUA‘s TERPRO commission.

• From Earthquake DeformatIon To seismic Hazard assessment (EDITH) – finding novel approaches to combining observations and modelling to understand the seismic cycle (Zoe Mildon, Franz Livio, Sambit Naik, Shalev Siman-Tov, Pia Victor)
• Rates and dates of tectonic plate processes from geomorphic and sedimentary records (Gino de Gelder, Silvia Crosetto, David Fernández-Blanco, Jorien L.N. van der Wal)
• Isotopic dating of deformation (Susanne Schneider, Matthias Konrad-Schmolke, Igor M. Villa, Christoph von Hagke)
• New insights for seismic hazard in regions of slow lithospheric deformation (Beau Whitney, Pierre Arroucau, Stéphane Baize, Susana Custódio, Gordana Vlahovic)
• Seismic and aseismic deformation at seismogenic faults: from distributed to localized deformation (Sylvain Michel, Luca Dal Zilio, Allie Hutchison, Jorge Jara, Valere Lambert)
• Active Tectonics and Geodynamics of Eastern Mediterranean (Ali Deger Ozbakir, Jean-Philippe Avouac, Konstantinos Chousianitis, Patricia Martínez-Garzón, Gülsen Uçarkuş)
• Understanding large subduction earthquakes and tsunamigenesis (Fabrizio Romano, Shane Murphy, Valenti Sallares, Elena Spagnuolo)
• Submarine Active Faults: From Regional Observations to Seismic Hazard Characterization (Sara Martínez-Loriente, Laura Gómez de la Peña, Francesco Emanuele Maesano, Hector Perea, Morelia Urlaub)
• Rift basin evolution: Interplay between tectonic deformation and surface processes (Alex Hughes, Rob Gawthorpe, Lisa McNeill, Frank Zwaan)
• Bridging records of tectonic and climatic forcings on the evolution of Central Asia: from Palaeozoic origins to Cenozoic aridification (Paul Eizenhöfer, Yigui Han, Qian LiuECS, Chaohui Liu, Guochun Zhao)
• Inputs of UAS for active tectonic processes (Benoit Deffontaines, Kuo-Jen Chang)
• Interactions between tectonics, climate and surface processes from mountain belts to basins (Duna Roda-Boluda, Anneleen Geurts, Dirk Scherler, Alex Whittaker)
• Central Asian Tectonics – Pamir, Tian Shan and Tibet from Paleozoic to Present (Johannes Rembe, Jonas Kley, Yani Najman, Ed Sobel, Rasmus Thiede)
• The Alps and neighbouring mountain belts (Pyrenees, Apennines, Dinarides, Carpathians): a multidisciplinary vision (AlpArray) (Anne Paul, Nicolas Bellahsen, György Hetényi, Marco Giovanni Malusà, Irene Molinari)
• Geological Records of Tsunamis and Other Extreme Waves (Ed Garrett, Dominik Brill, Max Engel, Simon Matthias May, Jessica Pilarczyk)
