Dear members of the Tectonics community,
The Seismological Society of America annual meeting is in Anchorage, AK this year, April 29 – May 3. https://www.seismosoc.org. Abstract deadline: Jan. 10
Please consider submitting an abstract to a session on strike-slip faults in the North American Cordillera (description below). We welcome all types of studies that relate to the origin and evolution of the many prominent strike-slip faults in this region.
Conveners: Trevor S. Waldien, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology ([log in to unmask])
Richard Lease, U.S. Geological Survey ([log in to unmask])
Sean Regan, University of Alaska, Fairbanks ([log in to unmask])

Session 11. Cordilleran Strike-Slip Faults as Seismogenic and Seismological Features
The North American Cordillera extends from southern Mexico to northern Alaska and includes several active fault systems. Strike-slip faults are a major feature in the neotectonic framework of the North American Cordillera and, in many places, coincide with profound geophysical boundaries in the lithosphere. Syntheses of regional geological and geophysical datasets reveal that the crustal-scale architecture of the faults is tied to their geologic evolution, but a number of questions remain regarding the long-term evolution of these structures, leading to the present-day crustal structure and seismogenic behavior. This session seeks to highlight present research relating the long-term geological evolution of Cordilleran strike-slip faults as it relates to the neotectonic, seismological and geophysical signature of the faults.
