Dear colleagues,
Please find below the description of a special session at AGU entitled:
S08: Rotational Motions in Seismology and Engineering: Progress in
Instruments, Theory, Observations, and Applications
This session aims at highlighting recent progress in all aspects of
rotational ground motions in seismology, earthquake engineering, and
related fields.
We would like to encourage you to submit an abstract to this session and
contribute to an exciting discussion on the advances in rotational
seismology and engineering.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is September 10th.
Kind regards,
Heiner Igel, LMU Munich, Germany
Ana Ferreira, University of East Anglia, UK

Rotational Motions in Seismology and Engineering: Progress in Instruments,
Theory, Observations, and Applications
There is growing interest in understanding the potential of observing six
degrees of freedom of ground motions (three translations and three
rotations) and their relevance for seismic source and structural imaging,
wavefield separation, strong ground motion, and shaking hazard. This
session invites contributions on all aspects of rotational ground motions
in seismology, earthquake engineering, and related fields, e.g.: (1)
observations using high and low-resolution sensors; (2) point versus
area-rotations; (3) the seismic inverse problem with rotations; (4)
sensitivity of translational inertial sensors to ground rotations; (5)
applications in reservoir seismology, strong motion seismology, earthquake
source studies, and earthquake engineering.
