Call for abstract ESC2026 – session #32 Numerical Simulation of Near-Fault Earthquakes 6-11 september 2026 Istanbul (Turkey)
Dear Colleagues,
We kindly invite you to submit an abstract to our session 32 “Numerical Simulation of Near-Fault Earthquakes: Modeling Challenges, Ground Motion Features, and Site Effects” at the 40th General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission (ESC2026).
Join us to share your research, innovations, and experiences on the near-fault seismic motion prediction and characterization. The ESC will take place on September 6-11, 2026, in Istanbul, Turkey with more than 1’000 expected participants. We look forward to your contributions and to an engaging discussion with the community.
The abstract submission deadline is 15 March 2026. During the submission process, authors will be asked to select their preferred Session (session #32) and preferred presentation type (oral or poster).
Topics of interest include:
- Dynamic rupture modeling and near-fault ground motion characterization (vertical component, directivity, fling, hanging-wall, rotational effects);
- Advanced numerical approaches (finite/spectral element, finite difference, hybrid, or data-driven methods);
- Modeling of 3D geological structures, topographic amplification, and nonlinear site response;
- permanent ground deformation due to fault ruptures and their effects on lifelines (e.g., pipelines, railways) and foundations
- Integration of numerical simulations with strong-motion, geodetic, and geological data;
- Implications for seismic hazard assessment, building codes (e.g. EC8), and engineering design.
