Geological data and techniques represent a crucial perspective for investigating past earthquakes. Indeed, all moderate to strong crustal events produce direct and permanent effects on the earth's surface (i.e. morphogenic earthquakes), and "earthquake geologists" recognize, read, describe, measure, analyze, and interpret all these linear and/or areal features. Geological investigations of past earthquakes can detect, measure, and study such features even several years after they were formed and offer valuable data to active fault databases. Moreover, Earthquake Geology can investigate both single-event effects as well as cumulative ones.
Geological investigations of past events are also of primary importance for seismic hazard assessment, which requires the interplay of different disciplines and expertise. Geological approaches to investigating past earthquakes are fundamental in determining or inferring important parameters for seismic hazard assessment, including the maximum expected magnitude, the return period for a given magnitude, and the mean slip rate. In this session, we welcome contributions describing and critically discussing any geological aspect of earthquakes and seismogenic faults including the design, population, and dissemination of active fault databases in Europe and Greece.
We are interested in works based on all geological approaches, and particularly on research dealing with new and innovative methodological or multidisciplinary approaches. We look forward to a lively and cross-disciplinary program that will bring together a broad range of experts to discuss the crucial contribution of Geological Sciences to the investigation of earthquakes and seismic hazard assessment of crustal faults.

The Call for Papers is open, and we warmly invite you to submit your work
