                                  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>

                                  various processes that give rise and
                                  are associated with the phenomenon of

                                  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

                                  <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>
