Dear Colleagues,
We'd like to remind you of the AGU session, "Controls on Fault Rupture Patterns". We invite abstracts that pertain to the patterns of fault rupture and fault segmentation in all tectonic settings and their implications for seismic hazards.
T009. Controls on Fault Rupture Patterns
Understanding the nature of fault rupture patterns is fundamental to earthquake geology and seismic hazard analysis. Analysis relies on the determination of fault rupture location, length, and depth and resolving repetition or evolution with time. Several factors can control spatial and temporal rupture patterns, including fault type, slip rate, fault geometry, and rheology. This session will examine fault rupture behaviors across diverse tectonic settings. We invite abstracts addressing topics such as rupture patch persistence and apparent barriers, and their relationship with fault structural segments; the integration of paleoseismic, geodetic, and seismologic data; and linkages between observations, theory, and probabilistic seismic hazard analyses.
