Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the following AGU 2018 Session:
T052: Transdisciplinary Views of Spatial and Temporal Fault-Zone Evolution.
Session Description: The interaction and evolution of mechanical and chemical processes during fault zone development exerts an important control on the accommodation and transfer of strain, spatiotemporal patterns of seismic energy release, and the focusing of fluid flow and mass transfer in the upper crust. Key questions that motivate this session are: how do intrinsic fault-zone properties impact earthquake recurrence intervals? What is the role of fluid-rock interaction in modifying fault-zone mechanical properties? How can the deformation mechanisms recorded in exhumed fault rocks be integrated with geochemistry and geochronology to construct more comprehensive views of the seismic cycle? We invite contributions from a variety of disciplines, including (but not limited to) geomechanics, structural geology, geochronology, geochemistry, geomorphology, and numerical modeling that address these and related topics.
This session is linked to the "Understanding Fault zone behavior from Earth’s Surface to the base of the Lithosphere" theme of the Future of Tectonics Initiative.
Abstracts can be submitted to this session using the link below (Deadline is Wednesday August 1st at 11:59 EDT):

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rob McDermott, Gabriele Calzolari, and Randy Williams
