Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

1. AGU Session: T018 - New insights into the nature and effects of slow slip:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends of slow fault slip,
Please consider submitting your AGU abstract to our session
T018 - New insights into the nature and effects of slow slip
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/103000

Understanding the nature of slow slip is crucial for the evaluation of stress accumulation on hazardous faults. Thanks to modern geophysical techniques that enable detailed exploration of slow slip behavior in space and time, there has been significantly improved knowledge on where, how, and why faults slip slowly across scales. We look forward to seeing (1) new observations that provide constraints on the spatiotemporal distribution of slow slip at depth, (2) investigations on the factors controlling the magnitude, recurrence, timing of slow slip events and the interplay between seismic and aseismic slip events. We especially encourage presentations that demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches and the integration of diverse datasets.

Invited Speakers:
Luca Dal Zilio, Caltech
Mathilde Radiguet, ISTerre, Grenoble, France

This session echoes a special issue of JGR on fault creep that is open for submission until March 2021 and aims to attract multi-disciplinary contributions from geological, geophysical, experimental, and modeling studies of slow slip. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)2169-9356.FAULTCREEP1

2. Reconciling Estimates of Brittle and Ductile Lithosphere Rheology across Temporal and Spatial Scales - AGU session T022:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

This year at AGU, we are organizing the AGU session "Reconciling Estimates of Brittle and Ductile Lithosphere Rheology across Temporal and Spatial Scales," session T022, co-listed between Tectonophysics, Geodesy and Mineral and Rock Physics. It is a combination of a discussion featuring six panelists plus one or more regular-format sessions (oral and/or poster, depending on how they are allocated).

We would like to invite you to present your research in the regular-format part of our session. You can submit an abstract at https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/prelim.cgi/Session/103054; as a reminder, the submission deadline is July 29 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

We also invite you to tune in to our panel discussion, which will feature:
• Harriet Lau, UC Berkeley
• Kristel Chanard, ENS Paris
• Jamie Kirkpatrick, McGill University
• Attreyee Ghosh, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore
• Cailey Condit, University of Washington
• Lidong Bie, University of Liverpool
Stay tuned for details on what will surely be an exciting and thought-provoking discussion!

Thanks everyone,
Camilla Penney, University of Cambridge (cp451@cam.ac.uk)
Alissa Kotowski, McGill University (alissa.kotowski@mcgill.ca)
Adriano Gualandi (adriano.geolandi@gmail.com)
Chris Rollins, University of Leeds (j.c.rollins@leeds.ac.uk)
