Hi everyone,
We are excited to invite you to submit abstracts to session S4 (Earthquake Source Physics) at the 2026 Joint Meeting of the Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) and the International Association of Hydrogeologists – Canadian National Chapter (IAH-CNC). The meeting will be held May 24-27, 2026, at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia—we hope you’ll join us in one of Canada’s most vibrant coastal cities: https://www.meet-here.ca/cgu2026
Session Description:
Earthquake Source Physics: Mechanisms, Models, and Monitoring
Understanding earthquake source processes remains a central focus in seismology, with critical implications for tectonic processes, hazard assessment, and risk mitigation. This session aims to bring together diverse contributions that explore the physical mechanisms driving earthquakes across different tectonic settings—including both interplate and intraplate events, as well as induced seismicity—at all temporal scales. We welcome submissions spanning detailed case studies of specific seismic sequences to global-scale analyses, utilizing observational techniques, numerical modeling, and laboratory experiments. Studies that integrate multiple methodologies or harness emerging technologies and novel datasets are especially encouraged. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, physical modeling and observational studies of earthquake source characterization, nucleation process, rupture dynamics, and stress evolution, and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence for phase detection, catalog enhancement, clustering, and forecasting. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this session seeks to advance our fundamental understanding of earthquake processes and support the development of more effective strategies for seismic hazard assessment and mitigation.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing your exciting work in Halifax!
Best regards,
Yajing Liu, Miao Zhang, Jeffrey Gu, and Semechah Lui
