<BR>
We are writing to inform you of a topical session that we are convening at the 2010 GSA annual meeting next fall in Denver. Please consider submitting an abstract to the session.<BR>
<B><BR>
T85: Recent Advances in Paleoseismology & Neotectonics of Eastern & Central North America and the Northern Caribbean<BR>
</B><BR>
This session will focus on evidence of strong earthquake shaking and crustal deformation during the Quaternary. Presentations are solicited on earthquake-induced liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis, as well as surface and subsurface deformation related to active faulting. <I> Papers on the Haiti earthquake and paleoseismology and neotectonics of Hispaniola are encouraged.<BR>
</I><BR>
We have three fabulous invited speakers for the session as follows:<BR>
<BR>
1.<B> Beatrice Magnani</B> (University of Memphis); presentation entitled, "Long-lived, widespread deformation in the Central US: constraints from high-resolution reflection data"<BR>
<BR>
2.<B> Chuck Mueller</B> (USGS); presentation entitled, "Contributions of neotectonics and paleoseismology to the National Seismic Hazard maps"<BR>
<BR>
3.<B> Carol Prentice</B> (USGS); presentation entitled, "Paleoseismology and earthquake hazard in the Caribbean"<BR>
<BR>
Depending on the response to the session, we may solicit manuscripts from participants for a GSA Special Paper.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Abstracts Deadline: August 10, 2010<BR>
