State of Stress and Strain in the Crust and Implications for Fault Slip Based on Observational, Numerical and Experimental Analysis [Poster]
Date: 4/26/2019
Time: 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Room: Grand Ballroom
Understanding the stress and strain distributions in the crust and specifically near fault zones is essential towards refining knowledge on deformation processes, fault mechanics and earthquake source physics. This session focuses on (1) the estimation of the state of stress/strain and (2) the analysis of stress/strain distributions at different spatial and temporal scales by soliciting works based on theory, observational data, modeling and laboratory experiments. Contributions are encouraged but not limited to address the following questions: 1) How are stress and strain distributed in lab experiments and nature and how can we bridge the two environments? 2) What are insights from numerical simulations on stress state and to what extent can models help in interpreting observations such as earthquakes or slow slip events? 3) What can we extract from geodetic, geologic, borehole and seismic data regarding the state of stress at regional and local scales? 4) How can spatial stress/strain variations from long-term data compilations improve our knowledge of fault zone structure, earthquake mechanics, aseismic slip? 5) How can information on the state of stress/strain be used to improve seismic hazard assessments?
