As initiative of the ILP Task Force 2026-TF2 Volcanotectonic processes and new technologies: Lithosphere interactions from depth to the surface, we are delighted to bring your attention to session TS3.1 Studying Active Faults from the Near-Surface to Seismogenic Depth: Advances and Open Questions in Seismotectonics and Active Tectonic Processes-4th year (Conveners: Rita De Nardis, Fabio Luca Bonali, Vanja Kastelic, Debora Presti, Victor Alania) programmed at the EGU General Assembly 2026 in Vienna - Austria (3–8 May 2026, https://www.egu26.eu/).

The session aims to spark discussion on how to advance our understanding of active faulting and improve the coherence to robust seismotectonic models by exploring and exploiting approaches as innovative as traditional, by investigating at local and regional scales, linking geological and geophysical perspectives and emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches aimed to reconstruct faults' geometry, kinematics, deformation style and rates  (please, find more details at https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/session/56139)

With this in mind, you may consider submitting an abstract by Thursday, 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET. Link: https://www.egu26.eu/authors/how-to-submit.html

We strongly encourage PhD students and early career scientists (ECS) to consider this session a fitting opportunity to present their research results, establishing across-generation scientific debate on the proposed topics.
