| Session Description | This session expands the interdisciplinary discussions on the latest progress of pre-earthquake anomalies and the earthquake predictability. New ground-based and satellite observations have provided evidences, which may enhance better understanding on the earthquake preparation process and the lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere link. The session anticipates talks that include but not limited to observations and analyses of seismic, electrical, electromagnetic, electro-chemical and thermodynamic processes related to stress and conductivity changes in the lithosphere along with their statistical and physical validation. Presentations on the latest observational results associated with major earthquakes obtained by different methodologies are welcomed. Especially, it is 10 years commemoration of the 2008 M8.0 Wehchuan earthquake as well as the kickoff for the Chinese Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES). The topics of the session are as follows but not limited. General discussion on earthquake preparation process and the physics of pre-earthquake signals. Theory, modeling, laboratory experiments, computational simulation for generation and propagation of pre-earthquake signals and their connection with seismic cycle. Multi-parameter observations, detection, and validation of pre-earthquake signals. Cross-disciplinary studies, practical and technical approaches for better understanding of pre-earthquake anomalies related to earthquake preparation processes and their connection with seismicity. |
