Explore a comprehensive conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting focused on cities located on subduction thrusts. Delve into eight presentations covering various aspects of subduction zones and their impacts on urban areas. Learn about Seattle's geological challenges, simulated ground motions in Cascadia, slip variations in Alaska, seismic imaging of the Lesser Antilles and Hellenic subduction zones, the Philippine Sea Plate's structure beneath Japan, tomographic imaging beneath Tokyo, earthquake risk assessment in Wellington, and velocity imaging across the Hikurangi margin. Gain insights into the complex relationships between urban development and underlying geological processes in subduction zones, with implications for seismic hazards and risk management in major cities worldwide.
