Subduction Systems

The meeting treats subduction-zone hazards as connected components of the Earth system. Deformation, faulting, mineral reactions and fluid movement link trenches, volcanic arcs and the mantle, while earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis and eruptions can trigger one another. Researchers will integrate geology, geophysics, geochemistry and geodynamics across scales to understand cascading hazards, improve forecasting and relate deep processes to surface landscapes and climate-linked risks. Attendance applications are reviewed and capacity may fill before the application deadline.
