AGU 2024 Session on Cratons: T022 - Structure, Tectonics, and Seismicity of Cratons
Yang, Xiaotao
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to our interdisciplinary session at AGU 2024: T022 - Structure, Tectonics, and Seismicity of Cratons. With this session, we seek contributions from new data and results across disciplines to help elucidate the structure, tectonics, earthquake hazards, and evolution of cratons. We invite contributions from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to geology, geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, rock physics, geochronology, tectonics, and geodynamics, with a particular interest in studies that cross disciplinary boundaries or temporal and spatial scales.
The 2024 AGU Fall Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. and online from December 9-13, 2024. The deadline to submit your abstract is 11:59 PM EDT on July 31, 2024. Please check out more about our session and submit your abstract here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/224060

Session Title: T022. Structure, Tectonics, and Seismicity of Cratons
Section: Tectonophysics

Description:
Cratons form the “stable” cores of continents. Recent studies from geological and geophysical data and geodynamic modeling provide evidence for significant structural and compositional modifications of the cratonic lithosphere. Tectonic features such as basins, rifts, faults, arches, and domes existing across cratons also require changes in the geodynamic states of the lithosphere “post-cratonization”. Abundant intraplate seismicity suggests that some of these structures are active today. Cratons provide an ideal setting to address a variety of topics on the dynamics and stability of continental lithosphere, most effectively through cross-disciplinary collaborations. This session aims to facilitate the sharing of new data and results across disciplines to help elucidate the structure, tectonics, earthquake hazards, and evolution of cratons. We invite contributions from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to geology, geophysics, geochemistry, rock physics, geochronology, tectonics, and geodynamics, with a particular interest in studies that cross disciplinary boundaries or temporal and spatial scales.
