Dear Colleagues,
this is to draw your attention to a session on "Active faulting and
continental deformation" to be held in Nice, France, 21 - 26 April 2002,
at the XXVII General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society
meeting. The event information is enclosed below.
The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 11 January 2002.
The submittal information and general information about the meeting
can be obtained from the EGS home page at
http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/EGS.html
thanks for your time and looking forward to meeting you in Nice.

SE5.03 Seismology: Active faulting and continental deformation
Convener: Aoudia, K.; Co-Convener: Reilinger, R.E.
Event Information
The main goal of this session is to bring together research in seismology,
geodesy, field geology, and other relevant areas of the earth sciences to
constrain better conceptual and quantitative models for continental
deformation over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. Modeling of
deformation as indicated by geology, paleoseismology, seismicity, and
geodesy (leveling, continuous and campaign GPS, InSAR, etc.), and research
on the relation between strain rates averaged over different temporal and
spatial scales are encouraged. Contributions may range from the mechanical
behavior of individual earthquake faults, including interseismic,
coseismic, postseismic, and aseismic fault behavior, to continuum
approaches broad-scale continental deformation. We encourage contributions
that consider the implications of observations and models for seismic
hazards.
