AGU Session NH025 – Earthquake Hazard and Risk Across Diverse Tectonic Regions: Integrating Seismology and Engineering, Bridging Well-Instrumented and Emerging-Data Regions
Rashid Shams
📢 Call for Abstracts for American Geophysical Union 2026, San Francisco
Understanding earthquake hazard across tectonically diverse regions requires integrating seismology, physics-based ground motion modeling, and engineering applications. This session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working across transform, subduction, continental collision, and other tectonic environments to advance transferable frameworks for seismic hazard and risk assessment.
We welcome contributions on topics including:
🔹 Earthquake source processes, seismicity, swarms, and aftershocks
🔹 Ground motion models, attenuation, and engineering seismology
🔹 Site response and basin effects
🔹 Dense seismic networks and emerging datasets
🔹 Macroseismic intensity and community-based observations
🔹 Infrastructure performance, risk assessment, and resilience
🔹 Earthquake-induced landslides and liquefaction
🔹 Multi-hazard interactions and integrated risk frameworks
Session Conveners:
• Dr. Chukwuebuka Nweke – University of Southern California
• Dr. William Mohanty – Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
• Dr. Saibal Gupta – Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
• Dr. Pengfei Wang – Old Dominion University
• Mr. Rashid Shams – University of Southern California
We particularly encourage submissions that bridge seismological observations with engineering applications and that leverage data from both well-instrumented and historically data-sparse regions.
We look forward to your contributions and to engaging discussions at the meeting.
