Recent advances in remote sensing, from sub-metre resolution stereo imagery to airborne or terrestrial LiDAR and UAV, have enabled earth scientists to explore the Earth’s surface in a virtual environment. Such data can provide insights into our understanding of long-term tectonic deformation, strain accumulation processes, landform changes, recurrence characteristics of historical earthquakes, etc.
This session provides a stage for tectonic studies that focus on active faulting and earthquakes using high-resolution imagery and topography. We seek a wide range of contributions from new techniques and data to interpretation of deformation patterns in tectonically active regions.
