Earthquakes : Nucleation, Triggering, and Relationships with Aseismic Processes – 3rd edition

Organized by D. Marsan and A. Sladen

Earthquakes remain unpredictable, despite decades of intense investigations on possible precursory phenomena. Key challenges include our inability to monitor the state of stress on active faults at seismogenic depths, and to fully understand how rupture initiates and stops in a complex medium characterized by a highly variable stress field.

The goal of this school is to give PhD students, post-docs and young scientists an accurate snapshot of our current understanding of how earthquakes nucleate and can be triggered, in the light of recent improvements
