| Session Description | Southeast and East Asia is one of the world’s most tectonically active region, where earthquakes not only occur along major plate boundary faults, but also appear in the interior of tectonic plates affected by the on-going tectonic plate motions. In the past decades, several destructive earthquakes struck this area, and highlighted the need for a systemical understanding of its active tectonics, seismic hazard, and earthquake behaviours through advanced researches at different scales. These researches, including both on-land and offshore geological, seismological, geodetic and numerical simulations, would cover the observations from different spatial and temporal scales, and could provide the complete picture covering the short-term fault rupture processes of earthquakes, the long-term kinematics of active tectonics, and their associated seismic hazard assessments and ground motion simulations in Southeast and East Asia. |
