Neotectonic and Surface Processes in South and East Asia: Their Interactions and Implications for Future Geological Hazards
Neotectonic and Surface Processes in South and East Asia: Their Interactions and Implications for Future Geological Hazards
Session ID#: 79263
Session Description:
As one of the most tectonically active regions in the world, South and East Asia region provides great opportunity to further understand the interactions between active tectonic and surface processes. Not only do these processes and their interactions drive the development of topography and shape the landscape, but they are also responsible for producing many of the most important geological hazards that threaten this populous region. In this session, we seek contributions from scientists working across various temporal and spatial scales on problems related to tectonics, surface processes, and their interactions. We encourage submissions from scientists in all related disciplines, including geomorphology, paleoseismology, structural geology, tectonics, seismology, geodesy, and modeling. Submissions focusing on the tectonic-surface process connections beyond South and East Asia are also welcome.
