Dear colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to Mexican Geophysical Union Annual 
Meeting. It is being held in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, from October 30th 
through November 4th. The Mexican Geophysical Union (UGM) is the largest 
geoscience organization in Mexico and I dare to say in Latin America. 
Since 2012 we have had around 1000 attendees to our meeting. 
Furthermore, we have a large attendance of students from all over the 
country who are eager to learn about new research topics and future 
perspectives for graduate studies.

Besides the general seismology session, there are other sessions that 
might be of your interest, please find their descriptions at the end of 
the message.

  * Paleoseismology, seismic and tsunami hazard
  * Assessment of Land Subsidence processes in the world. The UNESCO
    Working Group on Land Subsidence.
  * Seismology applied to solve problems in engineering
  * Induced and triggered seismicity
  * Assessment of large earthquakes and tsunamis for disaster prevention

Despite the webpage (http://www.ugm.org.mx <http://www.ugm.org.mx/>) is 
currently in Spanish (we are working on the English version), abstracts 
and presentations can be in Spanish or English.

*Session descriptions:*

*/Paleoseismology, seismic and tsunami hazard/*
A considerable number of populated areas is located on active plate 
boundaries where great earthquakes and tsunamis have occurred in recent, 
historical and prehistorical times. Scientists have been working into 
explaining the origin and recurrence of these events to improve their 
ability to assess seismic and tsunami hazards in the near feature, to 
create resilient communities.
This session aims to bring together a broad spectrum of scientists, who 
deal with such diverse questions as paleoseismology, tectonic models, 
and assessment of seismic and tsunami hazard, and the public’s 
preparedness for natural disasters. It is an opportunity for all the 
participants to share new findings and the lessons learned from the 
recent great earthquakes and tsunamis around the globe, find out how 
their own activity fits into the broad picture of science, and to aid in 
the communication between scientists and society.
We encourage the scientific community to submit abstracts on the topics 
related to:
/Paleoseismology and active faults/ - Research aimed at identifying 
active faults (both crustal and megathrust faults, i.e. subduction 
zones), determining the events chronology and slip rates, as well as 
identifying and dating tsunami deposits, and associated earthquake 
phenomena (liquefaction and landslide features). Use of remote sensing 
(LIDAR, SATELLITE IMAGES, etc.) and other advance tools and technology 
to identify possible fault activity.
/Tsunami hazard/ –Tsunami inundation characterization based on 
historical archives and geologic data. Use of tsunami deposits to 
understand hazard. Design of tsunami flooding, hazard and evacuation 
maps through numerical models. Establishing a Tsunami Warning System and 
its relation with local, regional, national, and global, seismic and GPS 
networks.
/Societal concerns/ – Educational efforts to achieve prepared 
communities. Prepare warning messages, protocols, and evacuation routes 
for earthquake and tsunami hazards. Design of non-technical hazard 
assessment maps for political and educational uses. Evaluation of 
earthquake and tsunami hazard among potentially affected populations. 
Public and private efforts to decrease earthquake and tsunami hazard.

*/Assessment of Land Subsidence processes in the world. The UNESCO 
Working Group on Land Subsidence./*
The UNESCO Working Group on Land Subsidence (WGLS) organizes this 
session to invite the Earth Science community to present studies on the 
various processes that give rise and are associated with the phenomenon 
of land subsidence. Nowadays have been reported more than 150 subsidence 
areas in different parts of the world (http://landsubsidence-unesco.org/).
Land Subsidence is the general decline in ground level that can be 
associated with natural and anthropogenic causes, the first are tectonic 
movements, sea level rise, oxidation of organic material and cavities in 
karst areas. Among the causes associated with human activities are 
mainly fluid extraction such as groundwater in densely populated areas, 
gas and /or hydrocarbons extraction and the exploitation of solid 
materials (underground mining). In different countries the associated 
processes are related with the extracted fluid or material, the 
geological conditions, the socio-economic development and, the 
management of public policies addressed to characterize and mitigate the 
effects of these processes and associated phenomena such as ground 
rupture. Different techniques have been developed for the analysis, 
characterization and monitoring of LS.
The WGLS invites the community of Earth Sciences to present works 
related with the characterization and/or modeling of specific case 
studies, monitoring systems and public policies related to LS, which is 
a widespread problem in today's world and is directly associated with 
the management of natural resources.

*/Seismology applied to solve problems in engineering/*
In this session of the congress it seeks to create a link between the 
scientific knowledge in areas such as seismology and geophysics in 
solving problems related to engineering. We wish to encourage the 
exchange of new ideas and dissemination, both among specialists and 
organizations and professionals related to these areas of knowledge. The 
purpose is to study, analyze and evaluate the seismic phenomenon from 
two aspects: i) the response of structures to the occurrence of major 
earthquakes and ii) the impact on the ground (eg., landslides, 
liquefaction).

*/Induced and triggered seismicity/*
On a global scale, the current level of earthquakes induced by anthropic 
activities and underground exploitation is increasing at an 
unprecedented rate. Mass media is paying considerable attention to this 
phenomenon, thereby increasing the general public’s awareness of it. 
Accordingly, the scientific community has made efforts to understand and 
mitigate seismicity caused by fluid movement in the Earth’s brittle 
crust. Understanding the physical process of fluid induced seismicity on 
a multiscale level will assist in the development of new methods and 
models. Induced seismicity research topics range from acoustic emissions 
during laboratory experiments to seismicity caused by the stimulation of 
hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs, carbon capture storage, and 
wastewater disposal, to earthquake swarms triggered in volcanic regions 
and subduction zones.
We invite contributions from all disciplines, including laboratory 
experiments, case studies, geomechanics, numerical modeling, statistical 
and quantitative methods, and seismic hazard assessment and mitigation. 
In particular, we are interested in studies monitoring and assessing the 
triggered and induced seismicity in Mexican territory.

*/Assessment of large earthquakes and tsunamis for disaster prevention/*
The Pacific coast of Mexico is a region with a high risk of disasters 
due to the likely occurrence of megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis in 
the near future. We require urgent actions to mitigate the associated 
risk through the implementation of both, early warning systems based on 
quantitative (and physics-based) hazard estimates, and consistent 
prevention policies including outreach and education. In this 
multidisciplinary session, we welcome contributions aiming at 
geophysical studies to improve our understanding of megathrust 
earthquakes and tsunamis with emphasis in subduction zones (e.g., slow 
slip transients, interseismic strain accumulation, plate interface 
coupling, seismicity, tectonic tremors, paleoseismology, crustal 
rheology and frictional properties). We also encourage studies based on 
risk assessment and communication to mitigate the risk associated with 
future megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis. Research bringing such kind 
of knowledge into plausible physics-based earthquake and tsunami models 
by means of computational methods (from the source process to the wave 
propagation) for the assessment of strong ground motions and inundation 
areas are also welcome. We finally call for contributions addressing 
disaster prevention plans that integrate, for instance, quantitative 
hazard estimates such as those mentioned above. These may include 
tsunami early warning systems, social science approaches, outreach, 
education and public policies, all of them aiming for risk mitigation 
associated to future megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis in the Pacific 
coast of Mexico. This session challenges the integration of quantitative 
seismology into disaster prevention sciences to discuss the measures 
that still are necessary to mitigate future disasters in the region, and 
to promote a sustainable social development that protects the lives and 
properties of Mexican citizens.
