Session Description
Earthquake geology focuses on the study of geological processes that cause earthquakes. In particular, it involves the identification and characterization of active faults, primarily using landforms and drainage. Over the last few decades, significant progress has been made in understanding earthquakes by integrating conventional geological techniques with modern satellite geodesy (viz. GNSS and DInSAR), remote sensing and seismology. The focus of this session shall be on the observation, measurement and monitoring of continued deformation from the various tectonic settings across the globe. It is proposed to endorse enlightening new research and development from convergent, divergent and strike-slip settings, spanning across plate boundaries and continental interiors. Contributions from investigations on recent earthquakes and also historical analogues will be highly encouraged. The session envisages to build upon historical knowledge and modern technological tools to enhance our understanding of the earthquake processes, their surface manifestations, damage scenarios and implications for civil protection and risk mitigation.
