Month: December 2020

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the following session of the virtual 2021 Seismological Society of America (SSA) Annual Meeting (April 19-23). The abstract deadline is January 13, 2021 at 5 p.m. Pacific.

See https://www.seismosoc.org/attending-ssa-2021/ for meeting and submission details.

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in our upcoming AGU Town Hall.

How to join: Access the Fall Meeting website: https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting. The link to the town hall will become active 30 minutes prior to the live session.

Visit our 2021 workshop website for additional information and to join the email list: https://www.fort-collins-meeting-info.org

Objectives: This Town Hall provides a community forum to discuss emerging opportunities for research into lithospheric extensional systems. The end of the NSF funded GeoPRISMS Rift Initiation and Evolution (RIE) initiative, which followed the end of the RIDGE 2000 initiative, creates a need for community discussion of opportunities for multidisciplinary process-oriented research into extensional systems in the next decade. At this meeting we will explore directions for future research, and gauge interest in developing at a later date a community vision that articulates key research challenges and opportunities. The next steps toward understanding lithosphere extension require an integrative approach that considers how processes operate in an array of geological settings, from ridge to rift and in backarcs and broad continental extensional provinces. Processes must also be considered over time scales ranging from tens of millions of years to events that occur in moments, and space scales from intracrystalline creep mechanisms to plates. A multidisciplinary approach is therefore required, as these processes span an array of disciplines and encompass linkages and feedbacks between processes occurring in the solid Earth, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

Best wishes,

Patricia

In an effort to make this virtual AGU more engaging and interactive, the conveners of the session From Trench to Back Arc: Dynamics of the Hikurangi Subduction Zone, would like to invite you to participate in the following events:

• On 9 December from 18:00 – 19:00 Eastern US Time Zone, we will hold a Poster Walk during which time poster presenters who have indicated interest will give a 4-5 minute talk through of their posters. Use this link to attend:

• Also on 9 December from 23:05 – 23:30 Eastern US Time Zone, we’ll hold a Breakout Session in which oral presenters will each be in different breakout rooms to talk more about their presentations. Use this link to attend:

The list of confirmed presenters is attached.

You don’t need to register for AGU to attend these events but you can bring your favorite conference drink to make it feel more like AGU. We hope to see you next week!

If you have questions, please email chesley@ldeo.columbia.edu

Sincerely,
Your Session T017 and T022 conveners
