AGU Session: NH006 - Advances in Solid Earth Geohazards: From Process Understanding to Forecasting and Risk Mitigation

[Cochran, Elizabeth S]

We encourage submissions to our AGU Annual Meeting Session NH006 - Advances in Solid Earth Geohazards: From Process Understanding to Forecasting and Risk Mitigation. Please reach out if you have any questions (ecoc...@usgs.gov). Abstract submissions are due August 5.

NH006 - Advances in Solid Earth Geohazards: From Process Understanding to Forecasting and Risk Mitigation

Solid Earth geohazards including earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions pose significant and evolving hazards to communities, infrastructure, and critical systems worldwide. Recent advances in observational capabilities, numerical modeling, and data-driven approaches, as well as increased knowledge of past event and improved understanding of hazard-generating processes, are transforming our ability to detect, characterize, and forecast these hazards. This session is a joint effort between five sections of AGU: Natural Hazards, Seismology, Tectonophysics, Geodesy, EPSP, and cross-listed with VGP; we thus particularly welcome interdisciplinary work. We invite contributions that advance the understanding, modeling, and forecasting of physical processes governing Solid Earth geohazards, as well as studies that bridge the gap between fundamental science and applied risk reduction. We particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate cross-scale integration (spatial and temporal) combining field observations, laboratory experiments, remote sensing, machine learning, statistical analysis, and computational modeling and that contribute to actionable insights for resilience and hazard mitigation.
