This special session will synthesize rapid scientific insights from recent large and/or disruptive earthquake sequences, highlighting what we have learned, what remains uncertain, and which methods prove most informative. We aim to feature concise, data-driven and integrative modeling spotlights on earthquake physics, rupture dynamics, ground motions, geological field analysis, geodesy, tsunami observations, early analyses, and community data/model sharing. Emphasis is on timely results emerging up to March 2026, with flexibility to include very recent events of scientific and societal relevance. The format is a moderated panel with invited talks and time for Q&A, designed to surface cross-disciplinary takeaways and priorities for follow-up studies. No abstracts are required.
