Both earthquake sequences caused severe damage and casualties in regions with dense population. Impressive 350-km-long surface ruptures with complex structural faulting along the East Anatolian Fault and its branches characterize the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes and its 8–9 mm/yr left-lateral rate of faulting. The High Atlas earthquake on the other hand revealed surface deformation with blind faulting along 50-km-long rupture of the southern Sahara suture zone of the Maghrebides ranges. The modeling of coseismic ruptures using GPS and InSAR data allow the constrain of the fault ruptures at depth and related large scale crustal deformation. Slip deficit and fault interaction illustrate the short and long term behavior of these seismically active zones with slip rates from cm down to sub mm. We invite contributions in earthquake faulting, earthquake geodesy (GPS and InSAR), paleoseismology, seismotectonics, structural geology and tomography for the understanding of seismic cycles and crustal deformation in different tectonic frameworks (e.g., strike-slip, thrust faulting, normal faulting). </p> </div> <h3 class="title-section" style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 0">Conveners</h3> <ul class="small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-1" style="margin-bottom: 0px"> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Ziyadin-cakir.png" title="Ziyadin Çakir" alt="Ziyadin Çakir"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Ziyadin Çakir</h3> <p> Department of Geological Engineering, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Türkiye <br>Email: <a href="mailto:ziyadin.cakir@itu.edu.tr">ziyadin.cakir@itu.edu.tr</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=6602941359" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Fida-Medina.png" title="Fida Medina" alt="Fida Medina"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Fida Medina</h3> <p> Moroccan Association of Geosciences, Commission of Natural Hazards, Agdal, Rabat, Morocco <br>Email: <a href="mailto:medinafida@yahoo.com">medinafida@yahoo.com</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7101954524" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Abdelhakim-Ayadi.png" title="Abdelhakim Ayadi" alt="Abdelhakim Ayadi"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Abdelhakim Ayadi</h3> <p> Centre de Recherche en Astronomie Astrophysique et Géophysique (CRAAG), Algiers, Algeria <br>Email: <a href="mailto:abdelhakim.ayadi@gmail.com">abdelhakim.ayadi@gmail.com</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7006888939" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Mourad-Bezzeghoud.png" title="Mourad Bezzeghoud" alt="Mourad Bezzeghoud"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Mourad Bezzeghoud</h3> <p> Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Évora, Évora, Portugal <br>Earth and Remote Sensing Laboratory, University of Évora, Évora, Portugal <br>Email: <a href="mailto:mourad@uevora.pt">mourad@uevora.pt</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=6603342933" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Mustapha_Meghraoui.png" title="Dr. Mustapha Meghraoui" alt="Mustapha Meghraoui"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Mustapha Meghraoui</h3> <p> Associate Editor, Mediterranean Geosciences Reviews (Springer)<br> Associate Editor, Arabian Journal of Geosciences (Springer)<br> Emeritus Professor, IPG Strasbourg, France<br> Email: <a href="mailto:m.meghraoui@unistra.fr">m.meghraoui@unistra.fr</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7004510961" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> </ul> <br> </div> <br> <div class="title-section"> <h3>Track 16: Special Session on Earthquake Source and Ground Motion Modeling for Seismic Hazard and Risk Assessment</h3> </div> <div class="body-section" style="padding-top: 20px;"> <div class="richtext"> <p> The characteristics of active fault movements are essential for estimating the earthquake potential in a complex geological setting. Researchers have conducted several studies using different datasets and methods to rapidly understand seismogenesis and its corresponding impact. Accumulated data have been providing very important knowledge about the rupture processes of earthquakes, propagation paths and site effects on ground motion, and the relation between ground motion, damage, and earthquakes. This session focuses on earthquake sources and the methods and applications of physics-based earthquake ground motion simulations capable of handling wave propagation at frequencies of seismic engineering interest in the framework of seismic hazard and risk assessment. We invite contributions drawing on advances in knowledge of earthquake kinematic and dynamic rupture processes, including wave path and site effects representations using velocity models with multi-scale variability (with linear and non-linear material properties). We also seek contributions to the development of non-ergodic ground-motion models combining recorded and simulated data and their associated implications for probabilistic seismic hazard models in different regions of the world. Applications of these methodologies in the framework of seismic hazard and risk assessment of urban areas are welcome. </p> </div> <h3 class="title-section" style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 0">Conveners</h3> <ul class="small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-1" style="margin-bottom: 0px"> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Jose-Fernando-Borges.png" title="José Fernando Borges" alt="José Fernando Borges"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">José Fernando Borges</h3> <p> Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Évora, Évora, Portugal<br> Earth and Remote Sensing Laboratory, University of Évora, Évora, Portugal<br> Email: <a href="mailto:jborges@uevora.pt">jborges@uevora.pt</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57203256655" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Abdelhakim-Ayadi.png" title="Abdelhakim Ayadi" alt="Abdelhakim Ayadi"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Abdelhakim Ayadi</h3> <p> Centre de Recherche en Astronomie Astrophysique et Géophysique (CRAAG), Algiers, Algeria<br> Email: <a href="mailto:abdelhakim.ayadi@gmail.com">abdelhakim.ayadi@gmail.com</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7006888939" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Mustapha_Meghraoui.png" title="Dr. Mustapha Meghraoui" alt="Mustapha Meghraoui"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Mustapha Meghraoui</h3> <p> Associate Editor, Mediterranean Geosciences Reviews (Springer)<br> Associate Editor, Arabian Journal of Geosciences (Springer)<br> Emeritus Professor, IPG Strasbourg, France<br> Email: <a href="mailto:m.meghraoui@unistra.fr">m.meghraoui@unistra.fr</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=7004510961" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Mourad-Bezzeghoud.png" title="Mourad Bezzeghoud" alt="Mourad Bezzeghoud"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Mourad Bezzeghoud</h3> <p> Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Évora, Évora, Portugal <br>Earth and Remote Sensing Laboratory, University of Évora, Évora, Portugal <br>Email: <a href="mailto:mourad@uevora.pt">mourad@uevora.pt</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=6603342933" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> </ul> <br> </div> <br> <div class="title-section"> <h3>Track 17: Special Session on Biogeosciences and Global Environmental Change</h3> </div> <div class="body-section" style="padding-top: 20px;"> <div class="richtext"> <p> MedGU-24 hosts a special session on biogeosciences and global environmental change. Biogeosciences, the interdisciplinary field that integrates biological, geological, and chemical processes to understand Earth systems, faces several challenges in the context of global environmental change. Some of these challenges are well known, such as climate change, land use and land cover change, deforestation and land degradation, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution, invasive species, and biodiversity loss or ocean acidification, among others. But there are other threats that need to be addressed in the short term. We refer to aspects such as feedback mechanisms: many biogeoscience processes are interconnected, and changes in one aspect can trigger feedback loops that amplify or dampen the effects of environmental change. Understanding and predicting these feedback mechanisms is critical for accurate modeling of future environmental scenarios. Human-wildlife conflicts: As human populations expand and encroach on natural habitats, human-wildlife conflicts escalate. Finding sustainable solutions to mitigate these conflicts while conserving biodiversity is a major challenge for biogeoscientists and conservationists. Data gaps and uncertainties: Despite advances in technology and scientific understanding, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge of biogeoscientific processes, particularly in remote or inaccessible regions. Filling these gaps and reducing uncertainty in environmental predictions is essential for effective decision-making and policy development. Meeting these challenges requires collaboration across disciplines, integration of data from multiple sources, and innovative approaches to research, monitoring, and conservation efforts. </p> <p> We invite interested participants to write an intention email to one of the convenors. </p> </div> <h3 class="title-section" style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 0">Conveners</h3> <ul class="small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-1" style="margin-bottom: 0px"> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Carles-Barriocanal-Lozano.png" title="Carles Barriocanal" alt="Carles Barriocanal"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Carles Barriocanal</h3> <p> Universitat de Barcelona, Spain <br> Email: <a href="mailto:carles.barriocanal@ub.edu">carles.barriocanal@ub.edu</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=16686265600" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Joaquim-Farguell.png" title="Joaquim Farguell" alt="Joaquim Farguell"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Joaquim Farguell</h3> <p> Universitat de Barcelona, Spain <br> Email: <a href="mailto:jfarguel@ub.edu">jfarguel@ub.edu</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=8894275800" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px"> <div class="itemInfo"> <p> <img class="avatar speaker" id="idc" src="source/speakers/Mariano-Moreno-de-las-Heras.png" title="Mariano Moreno de las Heras" alt="Mariano Moreno de las Heras"> </p> <h3 style="margin-top: 20px">Mariano Moreno de las Heras</h3> <p> Universitat de Barcelona, Spain <br> Email: <a href="mailto:mariano.moreno@ub.edu">mariano.moreno@ub.edu</a> <br> <a href="https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57203329310" target="_blank"><img src="source/scopus-preview.jpg" style="width: 150px;" alt="scopus preview"></a> </p> </div> </li> </ul> <br> </div> <br> <div class="title-section"> <h3>Track 18: Special Session on Advancements in Seismic Noise-Based Studies</h3> </div> <div class="body-section" style="padding-top: 20px;"> <div class="richtext"> <p> Seismic noise is the ever-present seismic signal recorded by all seismometers in absence of large-amplitude signals like earthquakes.

Often embedded in multi-hazard scenarios, landslides can be preconditioned or triggered by earthquakes, heavy rainfalls, or wildfires, while flash floods and landslide dams are possible subsequent processes in those hazard cascades. Addressing the landslide phenomena presents a significant challenge for the geoscience community, encompassing process understanding, along with hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessments. The proposed session is designed to convene researchers engaged in various aspects of landslide studies. The session’s scope extends from local to global scales, covering empirical investigations into landslide process chains, the advance of models and monitoring techniques aimed at understanding landslide dynamics, cutting-edge methods for predicting and forecasting landslides, the assessment of socio-economical vulnerabilities, the interactions between landslides and human activities, as well as other natural extremes. </p> <p> Please feel free to <a href="source/Landslide session-MEDGU-24.pdf" target="_blank">download</a> and share the call for papers. </p> </div> <h3 class="title-section" style="margin-top: 30px;
