[apologies for multiple posting]
Dear Colleagues,
we would like to remind you that the deadline for abstract submission to
the next EGU meeting is January 15
We also encourage you to submit an abstract to the session on
"Earthquake Geology" (TS3.3/NH4.4)
co-organised in the frame of the "Tectonics and Structural Geology"
and "Natural Hazards" Sections.
We hope to bring together a broad range of expertise in order to discuss on
the many different aspects of Earthquake Geology
The complete information is available on:
http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2007
Please feel free to contact us.
Thanks for your time and looking forward to meeting you in Wien
Riccardo and Spyros

"Earthquake Geology, which includes many different disciplines, certainly
represents a crucial methodological approach for seismic hazard assessment
analyses. Indeed, in contrast to seismology, geological disciplines have
the possibility to investigate a much wider time window and especially to
observe the cumulative effects of past earthquakes. Indeed, linear and
areal morphogenic earthquakes leave on the surface permanent features that
geologists can observe and measure even after many years. Geological
approaches to investigate past earthquakes are also fundamental to infer
the maximum expected magnitude, the return period, the slip-rate and other
seismotectonic parameters. In this session, research papers mainly based on
Morphotectonic, Palaeoseismological and Archaeoseismological investigations
as well as Structural Geology, Neotectonics and Remote Sensing analyses are
invited to contribute in improving our knowledge on seismically active
regions worlwide. Papers dealing with new methodological approaches
especially if multidisciplinary are welcome.
