The next IAGA-IASPEI meeting will be held in Lisbon from 31 August – 5 September 2025.
Registration is open, and the abstract submission deadline is 12 March 2025.
We want to call your attention to the following IASPEI Symposia session:
S13 Recent Devastating Earthquakes and rapid response after devastating events
Conveners: Li Li (China), Thorne Lay (USA), Johannes Schweitzer (Norway)
Since the IUGG General Assembly in July 2023, large, damaging earthquakes continue to strike globally, producing loss of life and destruction in many regions around the world. About 17 earthquakes with Mw ≥ 7 (NEIC/GCMT) have occurred globally as of February 20, 2025. These include the January 2024 Mw 7.5 Noto earthquake in Honshu, which occurred in the shallow crust above an intense long-duration seismic swarm, and the April 2024 Mw 7.4 Hualien earthquake, which is the latest major event in the collisional zone along the eastern coast of Taiwan. Major earthquakes have also struck the Philippines and other subduction zones in the western Pacific and along South America. Earthquake science is essential for revealing the nature of earthquake generation and for extracting lessons from these events to help society reduce the impacts of future events. Seismologists, Geodesists, Geologists and Tsunami experts have been cooperating to characterize the full earthquake cycle and to image the rupture process of earthquakes with steadily improving resolution. This session welcomes reports on all studies of recent large and/or devastating earthquakes with geodetic/seismological/tsunami techniques, including investigations of source process, slip distribution, damage, pre/co/post-seismic deformation, geological/geophysical structure around the source faults, tectonic implications, and other associated phenomena.
We hope to see you in Lisbon!
Kind regards,
Li Li, Thorne Lay, and Johannes Schweitzer
