Carissimi Soci SGI,
Carissimi Soci Società Associate,

su indicazione del Prof. Fabio L. Bonali (Università di Milano Bicocca), vi segnaliamo la Call for Abstracts relativa alla sessione TS3.3 "Studying active faults from the near-surface to seismogenic depth: an open challenge", organizzata nell'ambito dell'EGU General Assembly 2023.

Cordiali saluti,
La Segreteria



Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the following session "Studying active faults from the near-surface to seismogenic depth: an open challenge" at EGU General Assembly, that will take place on 23-28 April 2023.
Deadline for abstract submission: 10 January 2023https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/46229

The session focuses on research aimed at defining the geometry, kinematics, and associated stress- and deformation fields of active faults, as well as building up tectonic and seismotectonic models, in all tectonic regimes, including volcanic areas. Assessing the geometry and kinematics of faults, key to seismic hazard assessment, can be often challenging due to the possible paucity of quantitative data, both at the near-surface and at seismogenic depths.
Tackling this challenging issue is nowadays possible by combining data from different approaches and disciplines, with the aim of obtaining a more detailed characterization/imaging of single active faults, as well as reliable seismotectonic models. In addition, technological advances in data collection and analysis provide a significant contribution. As an example, photogrammetry and LIDAR-derived models enable collecting a great deal of geological data even in inaccessible areas; these data can then be integrated with field (structural), seismological and geophysical data with the purpose of a better understanding of active faults geometry. Also, the improvement in data processing allows to enhance seismic catalogues in areas with low-level seismicity, as well as collect new and more detailed data from geophysical, geodetic, or remote-sensing analysis.
Contributions dealing with the following topics are welcome: i) active faults, including volcanic areas; ii) classical to innovative multiscale and multidisciplinary geological, seismological and geophysical approaches; iii) new or revised seismological, geophysical, field-and remotely-collected datasets; iv) faults imaging, tectonic-setting definition and seismotectonic models; v) numerical and analogue modelling.
