Panelists: John Power, USGS; Laura Wallace, GNS Science, University of Texas, Austin; Shawn Wei, Michigan State University.
Moderated by Anne Sheehan, University of Colorado, Boulder.
Subduction zones host a range of seismic phenomena, including the world’s largest earthquakes along the megathrust, in-slab and deep-focus earthquakes, shallow crustal events, tremor and volcanic seismicity. The structure and behavior of subduction systems provide insight into Earth’s evolution and plate tectonic processes. A panel will present their vision for the future of subduction zone science and discuss the important next steps to expand our understanding of subduction processes.
