Abstract submission

This session brings together geoscientists investigating subduction zone processes along the western margin of the Americas from diverse perspectives. We welcome contributions focused on active deformation, seismicity, magmatism, and fluid dynamics, as well as studies addressing the long-term tectonic and geological record of mountain building, basin evolution, and margin reorganization. By integrating short-term observations with long-term reconstructions, this session aims to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that advances our understanding of one of Earth’s most dynamic and long-lived convergent margins.
