T015. Structure, Mechanics, and Hazards of Geometrically Complex Fault
Systems <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/158573>

Conveners: James Biemiller, Roland Burgmann, Alice-Agnes Gabriel, Alba M
Rodriguez Padilla

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to our AGU session on multi-fault
systems:

Across many tectonic settings, major active fault systems commonly consist
of multiple intersecting or neighboring faults. High-resolution
observations from recent large earthquakes show that these events often
rupture multiple fault segments and generate significant off-fault damage.
Over a wide range of timescales, details of the mechanical interactions
between segments in complex fault systems remain challenging to untangle.
Nonetheless, these interactions appear to influence the seismic and tsunami
hazards resulting from complex earthquake ruptures. This session will focus
on new observations and models that illuminate how complex fault systems
form and deform over geologic to coseismic timescales, and how complex
faulting affects natural hazards for nearby communities. Submissions are
encouraged from a broad range of disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, seismology, geodesy, rock mechanics, and geodynamics, among
others.

H029 - Applied Terrestrial Gravimetry: Monitoring and Modelling
Environmental Processes
<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/158788>

Conveners: Marvin Reich (GFZ), Jeff Kennedy (USGS), Jean Lautier-Gaud
(Muquans) and Andreas Güntner (GFZ)

Dear community,

I wanted to draw your attention to our repeated AGU session on "Applied
Terrestrial
Gravimetry: Monitoring and Modelling Environmental Processes". As we know
you work in this very field, we would strongly encourage you to contribute
to this session. It would be an honor!

Terrestrial gravimetry has gained significant importance throughout
the last decade for monitoring hydrological and other environmental
processes. Nevertheless, the complete workflow from instrumental operation
to interpretation of processed data is complex and requires broad
and detailed inter-disciplinary knowledge. The hydrological signal
component of gravity is a key example: while hydrologists want to use it
for hydrological process understanding and modelling, others need to
remove it as noise before further interpretation (e.g., in the fields
of volcanology, geodesy, reservoir monitoring in geothermal energy
or carbon storage).

This session aims at addressing all applied aspects of
terrestrial gravimetry, including but not limited to: innovative
gravimeter technologies, instrumental setups, monitoring strategies,
data processing, signal separation and environmental interpretation. We
want to encourage discussions from different user perspectives to
sensitize each other on respective challenges and to ultimately
foster trans-disciplinary cooperation towards advanced applications.

Please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone who you think
would fit to this topic.

Best regards,

Marvin Reich and co-conveners Jeff Kennedy (USGS), Jean Lautier-Gaud
(Muquans) and Andreas Güntner (GFZ)

G008 - Plate Motion, Continental Deformation, and Interseismic Strain
Accumulation <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/156459>

Conveners: Donald F Argus (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory), Jeffrey Todd
Freymueller (Michigan State University), D. Sarah Stamps (Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University), Rui Manuel Silva Fernandes
(University of Beira Interior)

We invite submissions to our AGU session, Plate Motion, Continental
Deformation, and Interseismic Strain Accumulation. This session is always
stimulating and exciting, and we expect the same this coming year! Please
submit your abstract and present your work.

We seek studies examining the take up of plate motion in deforming zones
and the buildup and release of elastic strain along major faults and in
subduction zones using space geodetic measurements, geologic observations,
and geophysical data such as seismicity, marine magnetic anomalies, and
transform fault azimuths. How can GPS and InSAR be integrated to determine
deformation in plate boundary zones?  To what extent can observed elastic
strain buildup and past earthquakes be used to infer the likelihood of
future earthquakes?  Are fault slip rates from paleoseismology identical to
those from geodetic data?  What fraction of plate motion is taken up by
fault slip during earthquakes, and what fraction becomes part of
distributed deformation off the major faults?  How fast are mountains
currently rising?  To what degree do postseismic transients alter the
nearly constant velocity of the plates, and how can postseismic transients
influence the definition of Earth's reference frame?
