Illuminating Complex Earthquake Rupture Processes with Geodesy from the Surface to Depth
Illuminating Complex Earthquake Rupture Processes with Geodesy from the Surface to Depth
Session ID#: 282905
Session Description:
Recent large crustal earthquakes, including events in Myanmar (2025), Türkiye (2023), Palu (2018), and Tibet (2021, 2025), provide important opportunities to better understand large earthquake rupture processes. At the same time, the body of growing geodetic data (InSAR, GNSS, optical image correlation) offers unprecedented detail for observing and characterizing surface deformation caused by ruptures. This session invites contributions that leverage geodesy to advance our fundamental understanding of earthquake source physics and effects. We particularly encourage submissions that: (1) Constrain detailed surface and subsurface rupture kinematics and dynamics; (2) Investigate the role of fault geometry and structural complexity; (3) Explore interactions between seismic slip and triggered phenomena (e.g., aftershocks, aseismic slip, landslides); (4) Integrate geodetic data with seismological, geological, or modeling approaches for comprehensive surface and source characterization and hazard assessment.
