1. Quaternary tectonics of the Eastern California Shear Zone at GSA:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

We encourage you to present your research at our topical session "Quaternary tectonics of the Eastern California Shear Zone" at the upcoming National GSA Meeting in Phoenix, AZ held Sept. 22-25 2019.

This session seeks to bring together researchers from different disciplines, but who all work in the ECSZ, to begin a new, updated synthesis of the Quaternary tectonics of the ECSZ. Issues to be addressed could include, but are not limited to: 1) reconciling opposing observations on a given fault, e.g. geophysical models that show transtensional basins below areas exhibiting surficial geologic evidence for transpression; 2) temporal and spatial variations in how slip is partitioned across various faults of the ECSZ; 3) the role of oblique slip in the overall budget of plate boundary deformation, and 4) reconciliation of geologic and geodetic rates of deformation.

Abstract submission is open from April 1st to June 25th. More information about the meeting can be found here:

Thanks,

2. Special Issue in JGR, Open for Submissions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

A special issue in JGR titled "Creep on continental faults and subduction zones: Geophysics, geology, and mechanics” is now open for submissions until March 1, 2020.

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
