On behalf of Kayla Kroll, UC Riverside:

We would like to draw your attention to the following special session for the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in December:
Session ID#: 7427
Session Description: The 2010 Mw7.2 El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake has sparked ongoing research efforts on a variety of topics in earthquake physics and tectonics. Unprecedented seismic, geodetic, optical and geologic coverage of the mainshock revealed a geometrically and temporally complex earthquake, motivating many studies of many topics including rupture dynamics, fault segmentation, and co- and post- seismic deformation. Additionally, the earthquake triggered both 1) a vigorous aftershock and fault creep sequence that has made for ideal case studies of static and dynamic stress triggering, fault zone structure, and crustal anisotropy and 2) longer-term postseismic deformation that, along with new seismic studies of the Salton Trough, has provided a window into the rheology and geodynamic evolution of the Pacific-North American plate boundary. We invite contributions that provide new insights into this earthquake and the surrounding region and into the earthquake process at!
all spatial and temporal scales.
