1.1 Strong Earthquakes and Geomorphic Processes in Intracontinental Orogenic BeltsConveners: Zhikun Ren, Xuhua Shi, Xiaoping Yuan, Chuanyong Wu, Gang Rao
Strong earthquakes are a key component of orogenesis, and the links between large earthquakes and geomorphic processes in intracontinental orogenic belts represent a research frontier in Earth science. Earthquake rupture can generate coseismic uplift, contributing to mountain growth. At the same time, earthquake-induced hazards such as landslides can substantially reshape the Earth’s surface and accelerate erosion and sediment transport. Over longer timescales, the interaction between strong earthquake cycles and surface erosion jointly shapes the landscapes of orogenic belts and is central to understanding the evolution of coupled tectonic–climatic systems.
This session aims to explore how strong earthquakes drive mountain uplift and geomorphic evolution in orogenic belts. By integrating active tectonics, paleoseismology, high-resolution topographic measurements, such as InSAR and LiDAR, and numerical modeling, the session seeks to reveal the dynamic processes of the coupled “earthquake–erosion–uplift” system. We welcome recent advances in detailed quantitative studies of active tectonics and tectonic geomorphic evolution.Session Convener

1.3 Deep Structure and Geodynamic Processes of the Tianshan OrogenOrganizer:Guohui Li , Xuewei Bao ,Jikun Feng ,Shaolin Liu , heng Zhang , Huangfu Pengpeng, Wei Li , Yajian Gao ,Li Jin
As one of the world's most active and classic intracontinental orogenic belts, the Tianshan Mountains provide a crucial window into the deep structure and geodynamic processes that govern continental lithospheric evolution, intracontinental deformation mechanisms, and the seismogenic environments of major earthquakes. This session focuses on the deep tectonic characteristics and geodynamic evolution of the Tianshan and its adjacent regions. We aim to bring together the latest interdisciplinary advancements, incorporating high-resolution geophysical imaging (e.g., seismic tomography, receiver functions, surface waves, and joint inversion of multiple geophysical datasets), geodetic observations, geochemical tracing, and cross-scale numerical modeling. Key discussions will center on the fine crust-mantle structure, 3D rheological properties, and deep material transfer patterns within the orogen. We seek to unravel the underlying deep geodynamic driving mechanisms and crust-mantle interactions, with a specific focus on how these deep processes control surface uplift, present-day stress field distribution, and seismicity. We cordially invite researchers worldwide to submit their innovative sresearch findings and recent advances. Together, we hope to advance a comprehensive understanding of the deep-shallow coupling mechanisms in the Tianshan, thereby offering robust scientific support for enriching theories of intracontinental orogeny and regional seismic hazard mitigation.Session Convener

2.1 Practical Research and Frontier Studies on Major EarthquakesOrganizer:Yin Li,Jie Li,Yueren Xu ,Renwei Xiong, Yuan Yao,Yongqiang Yang, Valijon Yusupov
Major earthquakes represent an extreme manifestation of Earth's internal dynamic processes and interactions among geospheres. Seismic scientific investigations are critical for deciphering earthquake mechanisms and enhancing risk mitigation, serving as a key link between fundamental research and practical disaster resilience and increasingly becoming a vital direction for geoscience to support national public safety. On-site investigations capture first-hand data on source rupture processes, surface deformation, and disaster distribution, providing essential constraints for unraveling the complete chain from earthquake nucleation to occurrence and cascading impacts. Data on co-seismic displacement, secondary hazards, and engineering earthquake damage directly inform seismogenic structure analysis, seismic loss assessment, and performance-based seismic design optimization of buildings and structures. Integrating multi-phase investigation results with historical seismic records reveals regional strong earthquake recurrence intervals and tectonic evolution patterns, forming a core framework for understanding continental dynamics and seismic risk.This special issue aims to explore innovations and practical applications in seismic scientific investigations. By combining earthquake geological surveys, space-air-ground integrated observation networks, geophysical prospecting, and numerical modeling, we seek to elucidate the dynamical processes spanning source nucleation, crustal rupture, and cascading disaster evolution. We call for the latest research contributions in the following areas: seismic investigation techniques and methodologies, quantitative studies of surface rupture and tectonic deformation, fine-scale analysis and rapid assessment of earthquake damage, seismic risk assessment and disaster prevention/mitigation applications, earthquake early warning systems, and practices in earthquake emergency response and post-disaster reconstruction.Session Convener

4.2 Earthquake Disaster Risk Assessment and ResponseOrganizer:Xuchuan Lin,Benyong Wei, Wenhua Qi, Ping Wang,Qian Wang ,Heping Wen
Earthquake disaster risk assessment serves as the core link in reducing disaster losses and enhancing response capabilities, as well as a key pillar for implementing new concepts of disaster risk management. The significant disparities in China’s natural geographical environment and socio-economic development have led to considerable heterogeneity in the dominant factors and formation mechanisms of regional earthquake disaster risks. This session focuses on innovations in earthquake risk assessment methodologies, incorporating regional differential analysis to diagnose the formation mechanisms of regional earthquake disaster risks, examine practical experiences in earthquake response across different regions, uncover the intrinsic connections between "risk identification, prevention and mitigation, and emergency management," and summarize replicable regional earthquake disaster response models. We welcome the latest study findings in areas such as technological innovations in earthquake risk assessment, analysis of risk formation mechanisms, regional risk response strategies, and technology-enabled disaster risk reduction.Session Convener
