| Session Title | Faults and Earthquakes: Networks, Precursors and Monitoring Systems |
| Main Convener | Prof. Fuqiong Huang (China Earthquake Network Center, China) |
| Co-convener(s) | Prof. Horst Zwingmann (Kyoto University, Japan) Mr. Han Yue (Beijing University, China) Dr. Xian Lu (China Earthquake Networks Center, China) |
| Session Description | This general session on faults covers studies on fault zone networks, observations on potential precursors of earthquakes at different spatial temporal scales, and fault monitoring studies of Chinese fault systems. Some emphasis will be given on the nature of great earthquakes as "extreme" process of energy accumulation and release provides the study on earthquake forecast/prediction with unique opportunity of inter disciplinary comparisons. |
