[CEUS-earthquake-hazards] 2010 GSA Session on Paleoseismology and Neotectonics

[Oliver Boyd]

Dear Researchers and Other Interested Parties:

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.

T85:  Recent Advances in Paleoseismology & Neotectonics of Eastern & Central
North America and the Northern Caribbean

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.  Papers on
the Haiti earthquake and paleoseismology and neotectonics of Hispaniola are
encouraged.

We have three fabulous invited speakers for the session as follows:

1. Beatrice Magnani (University of Memphis); presentation entitled,
"Long-lived, widespread deformation in the Central US: constraints from
high-resolution reflection data"

2. Chuck Mueller (USGS); presentation entitled, "Contributions of
neotectonics and paleoseismology to the National Seismic Hazard maps"

3. Carol Prentice (USGS); presentation entitled,  "Paleoseismology and
earthquake hazard in the Caribbean"

Depending on the response to the session, we may solicit manuscripts from
participants for a GSA Special Paper.

Abstracts Deadline:  August 10, 2010

Sincerely yours,

Tish Tuttle, Randy Cox, Phyllis Steckel, and Rob Williams
