Subduction Zone Deformation Throughout the Earthquake Cycle: Observations and Models
Subduction Zone Deformation Throughout the Earthquake Cycle: Observations and Models
Session ID#: 252042
Session Description:
Subduction zones are the source of Earth's largest earthquakes, posing significant hazards to densely populated coastal regions. Recent advances in space geodesy have greatly improved our ability to monitor complex deformation processes throughout the earthquake cycle. We invite contributions investigating the full spectrum of subduction zone processes, including interseismic coupling, coseismic slip, slow slip events, fault creep, episodic tremor and slip (ETS), postseismic afterslip, and viscoelastic mantle flow transients. We particularly encourage studies that integrate space geodetic data (e.g., GNSS, InSAR) with seismic, paleoseismic, and geological observations, as well as numerical modeling to illuminate the physical mechanisms driving these processes, their spatial distribution and temporal evolution.
