The August 2021 South Sandwich Islands earthquake sequence: What
happened, regional tectonic context, and potential for South
Atlantic hazards
<br>
<br>
On August 12, 2021 a complex earthquake sequence occurred
beneath the South Sandwich Islands along the Scotia Arc.
Magnitude estimates for the two (or more?) possibly slow
ruptures are still under debate, though most estimates suggest
that at least one event in this doublet was a great earthquake
(M8+). Additionally, this sequence generated a far-reaching
tsunami, highlighting a clear need for better understanding of
seismic potential and improved geohazard monitoring in the
southern oceans.
<br>
<br>
In this late-breaking session we welcome contributions that
characterize the complex main events and associated aftershocks,
discuss the observations and forecasts of the subsequent tsunami
from both operational and post-event perspectives, address the
regional tectonics of the Scotia Plate, paleo- and historical
seismicity, and potential for future tsunami hazards along the
Atlantic coasts of South America, Africa, and Antarctica.

The session is now open for submissions. Log in to your AGU User
Portal (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/gateway.cgi">https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/gateway.cgi</a>?), select
"Late-breaking Sessions" from the left-hand menu, and choose
"The August 2021 South Sandwich Islands earthquake sequence:
What happened, regional tectonic context, and potential for
South Atlantic hazards".
<br>
<br>
The submission deadline is 29 September 2021 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1
GMT. Authors may submit to this late-breaking session even if
they have already submitted the maximum number of first-author
abstracts allowed to other sessions.
<br>
<br>
Thank you for your attention. We look forward to seeing you
virtually or in person in December.
