[IRIS] Fall AGU: T05: Segmentation of the Cascades Subduction Zone

[IRIS]

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to draw you attention to a special session at the  
coming Fall AGU meeting titled:

T05: Structural, Petrologic, and Seismic Segmentation of the Cascades  
Subduction Zone

We hope to bring together researchers from across the disciplines to  
discuss the nature of segmentation in the Cascadia subduction zone.

The meeting will be held December 11-15, 2006 in San Francisco and  
the electronic abstract submission deadline is September 7, 2006.  If  
you are interested in participating please submit your abstract  
online at
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm06

The session is being organized by Anita Grunder  
(grundera at geo.oregonstate.edu), Richard Allen (rallen at berkeley.edu)  
and Anne Trehu (trehu at coas.oregonstate.edu).  Please contact one of  
the conveners with any questions.

T05: Structural, Petrologic, and Seismic Segmentation of the Cascades  
Subduction Zone

Many different types of observations from the Cascadia Subduction  
Zone suggest along-arc segmentation. This has been documented in the  
composition and distribution of volcanism and in structure and  
seismicity in the forearc. As evidence for paleoseismicity and  
episodic tremor and slip has accumulated in the forearc of the  
Cascadia subduction zone, segmentation in the temporal and spatial  
distribution events has become apparent. The purpose of this session  
is to bring together investigators from different disciplines to  
review and update observations of arc (sensu lato) segmentation in  
order to explore links among disparate data sets and provide insights  
into the underlying processes that control the observed segmentation.  
Talks from seismology, geodesy, petrology, structural geology,  
paleoseismology and other geological and geophysical disciplines are  
welcomed.
