Mon. May 25, 2026 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM Exhibition Hall Special Setting (7) (Exhibition Hall 7&8, Makuhari Messe)

Chairperson:Okuda Hanaya(Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Maeda Sumire(National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)

The goal of this session is to integrate theoretical, experimental, observational, and numerical perspectives from various fields such as seismology, geodesy, geology, mineralogy, and so on, to define what is known about earthquake source processes and the physical and chemical elementary processes of faulting. This session welcomes studies that address such issues as pre-, co-, and post-seismic processes, the rheology of seismogenic faults and fault rocks, laboratory experiments on elementary processes, numerical models based on frictional laws, and estimates of the stress field in the seismogenic zones. We also welcome studies on fault-zone drilling projects and in situ stress measurements. Through discussions in both Japanese and English, this session promotes the mutual understanding among research fields and interdisciplinary research across all generations. We also encourage participants to communicate and present in English for international interactions. Therefore, presentations may be given in either English or Japanese, although all slides/posters must be written in English (with optional Japanese annotation).
