<b><i>Paleoseismology, seismic and
tsunami hazard</i></b><br>
A considerable number of populated
areas is located on active plate
boundaries where great earthquakes and
tsunamis have occurred in recent,
historical and prehistorical times.
Scientists have been working into
explaining the origin and recurrence
of these events to improve their
ability to assess seismic and tsunami
hazards in the near feature, to create
resilient communities.<br>
This session aims to bring together a
broad spectrum of scientists, who deal
with such diverse questions as
paleoseismology, tectonic models, and
assessment of seismic and tsunami
hazard, and the public’s preparedness
for natural disasters. It is an
opportunity for all the participants
to share new findings and the lessons
learned from the recent great
earthquakes and tsunamis around the
globe, find out how their own activity
fits into the broad picture of
science, and to aid in the
communication between scientists and
society.<br>
We encourage the scientific community
to submit abstracts on the topics
related to:<br>
<i>Paleoseismology and active faults</i>
- Research aimed at identifying active
faults (both crustal and megathrust
faults, i.e. subduction zones),
determining the events chronology and
slip rates, as well as identifying and
dating tsunami deposits, and
associated earthquake phenomena
(liquefaction and landslide features).
Use of remote sensing (LIDAR,
SATELLITE IMAGES, etc.) and other
advance tools and technology to
identify possible fault activity.<br>
<i>Tsunami hazard</i> –Tsunami
inundation characterization based on
historical archives and geologic data.
Use of tsunami deposits to understand
hazard. Design of tsunami flooding,
hazard and evacuation maps through
numerical models. Establishing a
Tsunami Warning System and its
relation with local, regional,
national, and global, seismic and GPS
networks.<br>
<i>Societal concerns</i> – Educational
efforts to achieve prepared
communities. Prepare warning messages,
protocols, and evacuation routes for
earthquake and tsunami hazards. Design
of non-technical hazard assessment
maps for political and educational
uses. Evaluation of earthquake and
tsunami hazard among potentially
affected populations. Public and
private efforts to decrease earthquake
and tsunami hazard.<br>

<b><i>Assessment of Land Subsidence
processes in the world. The UNESCO
Working Group on Land Subsidence.</i></b><br>
The UNESCO Working Group on Land
Subsidence (WGLS) organizes this
session to invite the Earth Science
community to present studies on the
various processes that give rise and
are associated with the phenomenon of
land subsidence. Nowadays have been
reported more than 150 subsidence
areas in different parts of the world
(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
href="http://landsubsidence-unesco.org/">http://landsubsidence-unesco.org/</a>).<br>
Land Subsidence is the general decline
in ground level that can be associated
with natural and anthropogenic causes,
the first are tectonic movements, sea
level rise, oxidation of organic
material and cavities in karst areas.
Among the causes associated with human
activities are mainly fluid extraction
such as groundwater in densely
populated areas, gas and /or
hydrocarbons extraction and the
exploitation of solid materials
(underground mining). In different
countries the associated processes are
related with the extracted fluid or
material, the geological conditions,
the socio-economic development and,
the management of public policies
addressed to characterize and mitigate
the effects of these processes and
associated phenomena such as ground
rupture. Different techniques have
been developed for the analysis,
characterization and monitoring of LS.<br>
The WGLS invites the community of
Earth Sciences to present works
related with the characterization
and/or modeling of specific case
studies, monitoring systems and public
policies related to LS, which is a
widespread problem in today's world
and is directly associated with the
management of natural resources.<br>

<b><i>Seismology applied to solve
problems in engineering</i></b><br>
In this session of the congress it
seeks to create a link between the
scientific knowledge in areas such as
seismology and geophysics in solving
problems related to engineering. We
wish to encourage the exchange of new
ideas and dissemination, both among
specialists and organizations and
professionals related to these areas
of knowledge. The purpose is to study,
analyze and evaluate the seismic
phenomenon from two aspects: i) the
response of structures to the
occurrence of major earthquakes and
ii) the impact on the ground (eg.,
landslides, liquefaction).<br>

<b><i>Induced and triggered seismicity</i></b><br>
On a global scale, the current level
of earthquakes induced by anthropic
activities and underground
exploitation is increasing at an
unprecedented rate. Mass media is
paying considerable attention to this
phenomenon, thereby increasing the
general public’s awareness of it.
Accordingly, the scientific community
has made efforts to understand and
mitigate seismicity caused by fluid
movement in the Earth’s brittle crust.
Understanding the physical process of
fluid induced seismicity on a
multiscale level will assist in the
development of new methods and models.
Induced seismicity research topics
range from acoustic emissions during
laboratory experiments to seismicity
caused by the stimulation of
hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs,
carbon capture storage, and wastewater
disposal, to earthquake swarms
triggered in volcanic regions and
subduction zones.<br>
We invite contributions from all
disciplines, including laboratory
experiments, case studies,
geomechanics, numerical modeling,
statistical and quantitative methods,
and seismic hazard assessment and
mitigation. In particular, we are
interested in studies monitoring and
assessing the triggered and induced
seismicity in Mexican territory.<br>

<b><i>Assessment of large earthquakes
and tsunamis for disaster
prevention</i></b><br>
The Pacific coast of Mexico is a
region with a high risk of disasters
due to the likely occurrence of
megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis in
the near future. We require urgent
actions to mitigate the associated
risk through the implementation of
both, early warning systems based on
quantitative (and physics-based)
hazard estimates, and consistent
prevention policies including outreach
and education. In this
multidisciplinary session, we welcome
contributions aiming at geophysical
studies to improve our understanding
of megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis
with emphasis in subduction zones
(e.g., slow slip transients,
interseismic strain accumulation,
plate interface coupling, seismicity,
tectonic tremors, paleoseismology,
crustal rheology and frictional
properties). We also encourage studies
based on risk assessment and
communication to mitigate the risk
associated with future megathrust
earthquakes and tsunamis. Research
bringing such kind of knowledge into
plausible physics-based earthquake and
tsunami models by means of
computational methods (from the source
process to the wave propagation) for
the assessment of strong ground
motions and inundation areas are also
welcome. We finally call for
contributions addressing disaster
prevention plans that integrate, for
instance, quantitative hazard
estimates such as those mentioned
above. These may include tsunami early
warning systems, social science
approaches, outreach, education and
public policies, all of them aiming
for risk mitigation associated to
future megathrust earthquakes and
tsunamis in the Pacific coast of
Mexico. This session challenges the
integration of quantitative seismology
into disaster prevention sciences to
discuss the measures that still are
necessary to mitigate future disasters
in the region, and to promote a
sustainable social development that
protects the lives and properties of
Mexican citizens.<br>
