SPECIAL SESSION AT 2002 FALL AGU MEETING
We are pleased to announce a special session on faulting and fluids that
will be convened at the Fall 2002 AGU Meeting in San Francisco (see
description below). This session should be of interest across several
AGU disciplines (Tectonophysics, Seismology, and Hydrology) and we hope
to draw a diverse group of contributors. The abstract submission
deadlines are 29 August for submissions by mail and 5 September for
online submissions. For more information on the Fall 2002 AGU Meeting,

Please share this announcement with your colleagues. If you have any
questions about the scope of material to be included in the session,
please contact us.
Sincerely,

T04- Fluids and Faulting: Cause and Effect
(joint listed in Tectonophysics, Seismology, and Hydrology)
We invite abstract submissions on the topic of the relationship and
interaction between fluids and faulting in the Earth’s crust. Relevant
issues include: the hydraulic impact of fault heterogeneity at all
scales; the effect of fault zone architecture and fault rock properties
on fluid flow; the hydraulic contribution to seismic and aseismic
behavior of faults including earthquake triggering and rupture dynamics;
the effect of mineral reactions on mechanical and hydraulic healing and
sealing of faults; and the effects of artificially produced fluid
pressure changes on fault behavior. We particularly encourage
submissions that present an integrated approach combining any of the
following methods: geological field investigations; geophysical or
petrophysical field and laboratory measurements; mechanical analyses;
hydrologic observations; and geochemical techniques.
