Convener:*Hiroshi Sato(Earthquake Prediction Research Center, Earthquake Research Institute, The University of Tokyo), Shuichi Kodaira(Institute for Research on Earth Evolution Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Takeshi Sagiya(Disaster Mitigation Research Center, Nagoya University), Tatsuya Ishiyama(Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo), Makoto MATSUBARA(National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention), Chair:Naoko Kato(Earthquake Research Institute,University of Tokyo), Ryuta Arai(School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii)

The goal of this session is comprehensive understanding of geodynamics of island arcs in subduction margins, including their structural evolution, short- and long-term crustal deformation,seismicity, crustal and mantle architectures overprinted by structuralhistories, volcanisms, and rheological properties of the lithosphereand its response to geodynamic processes. We solicit contributionsfrom a wide range of disciplines, including geodynamics, tectonics, geophysics, geology, geochemistry, seismology and earthquake prediction, from both observational, numerical and experimental approaches.
