[iris-bulk] AGU Special Session S03: New Perspectives into the Seismotectonics of the Andaman, Sumatra, and Java Subduction Systems

[IRIS]

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to draw your attention to the following special
session being convened at the Fall 2007 AGU meeting:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

S03: New Perspectives into the Seismotectonics of the Andaman,  
Sumatra, and
Java Subduction Systems

The occurrence of the 2004 and 2005 great Sumatra earthquakes and the  
2006
Java tsunami earthquake highlights the significant seismic hazard  
associated
with subduction offshore Indonesia. These three earthquakes exhibited a
large degree of variability in their rupture patterns, associated  
tsunami,
aftershock locations and mechanisms, and frequency range of associated
seismic energy.  This session aims to improve understanding of the
seismotectonics of the Andaman, Sumatra, and Java subduction systems in
order to provide further insight into the range of seismogenic zone
processes affecting earthquake generation. We invite contributions  
from a
range of disciplines including passive and active source seismology,  
marine
geophysics, geology, and geodesy that address seismotectonic issues  
in this
region.
