Earthquakes represent the sudden release of slowly accumulated strain energy and in consequence provide direct evidence of active tectonic processes. In the last years, the joint use of hypocentral distribution, earthquake focal mechanisms, geodetic observations of strain accumulation and geologic information on recent tectonics made possible to obtain detailed information about the seismotectonics of a region. This session is focused on the presentation of new results and approaches for the estimation of seismotectonics models.

This session is devoted to the reports on the seismic activity of the last year. Large seismic and tsunami events that took place during the current year should be presented and discussed here.

The work of building integrative (data and physical processes), reproducible, and internally consistent seismic hazard assessment methods seems harrowing. We want to gather people who have already developed parts of the puzzle.
All probabilistic approaches are welcome. In particular, the Bayesian methods seem well indicated for the task because data can be explained using generative models (physics-based or not), and, given proper priors, models' plausibility may be compared, leading to model selection or combination. The expert judgement can therefore move "upstream" from the model combination step up to the choice of the priors for example, leading to a much-needed reproducibility of the resulting hazard products.
All contributions dealing with a probabilistic treatment of ingredients of hazard computations are welcome. E.g., GPS deformation models, past fault slip rates, fault geometry, seismotectonic zoning, rupture models of past earthquakes, fault and crust rheological models, earthquake simulators, scaling relationships (slip vs length, etc), frequency-magnitude scaling, choice of renewal models using real or synthetic data, computation and choice of ground motion prediction equations ... Contributions from other fields (volcanic hazard, atmospheric hazards, ...) are welcome.
