Dear colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to AGU Fall meeting session!
S016: A 10-year review of the 2008 Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake

Session Description:
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session24345

The 2008 Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake has been classified as one of the great earthquakes. Because this event occurred at shallow depth and close to a densely-populated area, it was very destructive. The earthquake showed no clear precursors and in general was unexpected. This earthquake provided lessons to local communities about infrastructure damage and future risks. Seismologists worldwide learned lessons about the unique rupturing process, complex fault geometry, geodynamics and data interpretation to extract pre-, co-, and post-seismic anomalies. Nearly 10 years after the Wenchuan earthquake occurrence, it is worthwhile to review the accumulated results of completed studies.This session will focus on, but is not limited to, the following topics: (1) the rupture process; (2) the geometry of faulting from deep to shallow; (3) the geodynamic environment for preparation; (4) the interpretation of different observational data from pre-, co-, and post-seismic stages within different approaches; (5) the social effects.

S022. New Advances in Automatic Detection, Location and Characterization of Seismic Events

The number of seismic instruments installed around the world has grown exponentially in the last two decades. The new data will enhance our understanding of seismically active regions, but only if seismic events can be accurately detected and located, and their sources identified. Although the volume of data collected daily by seismic networks precludes routine processing by human analysts, the concurrent improvement in computational capacity enables us to design new, automated, data processing approaches. Such automated analyses will reduce processing time and ensure reliability and consistency. This session highlights new, automated methods that can be applied to large datasets, either retroactively or in near-real time, to detect, locate and characterize tectonic and non-tectonic seismic events. We encourage contributions that demonstrate how such methods help improve our understanding of seismic processes.

Conveners:
