New Directions in Environmental, Seismic Hazard and Mineral Resource Exploration Studies
The identification and assessment of ground displacement hazards, their environmental and social impacts, and mineral resource exploration targets are of growing importance for populations near industrial settings and in urbanized areas. As infrastructure development accelerates, multi-hazard assessments are needed to ensure the safety and sustainability of these regions. New approaches for collecting high-resolution geophysical and geological datasets and advances in methodologies allow us to image the subsurface at increasingly higher resolution. Advances in time-lapse imaging and event detection provide new opportunities for monitoring underground storage sites, changes in aquifer systems, and fault zone properties over time. These advances are key for improving community preparedness and resilience.
This session focuses on new directions in subsurface research for environmental studies, mineral resource exploration, and seismic hazard evaluation, including data collection, methodologies, and the application of dense seismic arrays and other instrumentation. Such studies create new avenues for interdisciplinary research, enabling geoscientists, engineers, and environmental scientists to collaborate and integrate findings across fields. We invite submissions on potential unidentified hazards and environmental impacts in well-researched and in understudied geographic areas. We encourage submissions from early-career researchers, cross-disciplinary approaches, and studies using innovative methodologies such as machine learning and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS).
