This should lead to better understanding of the hazards posed by large and great earthquakes. We seek geodetic (GNSS, VLBI, SLR, DORIS, and historical measurements) and geologic studies (from geomorphology, paleoseimology, seismicity, and marine magnetic anomalies) that further constrain the character of plate boundary zone deformation and interseismic strain accumulation. Can elastic strain buildup be readily related to future great earthquakes? What fraction of plate motion is taken up by fault slip during earthquakes, and what fraction becomes part of distributed deformation off of the major faults? Are the plate boundary zones better characterized as microplates or zones of homogeneous deformation? How does fault slip inferred from paleoseismology add up to plate motion, and how fast are mountains currently rising?</div><div class="sessionItem"><br></div><div class="sessionItem">Invited speakers are:</div><div class="sessionItem">Tim Wright</div><div class="sessionItem">Takeshi Sagiya</div><div class="sessionItem">Frederic Masson</div><div class="sessionItem">Rick Bennett</div><div class="sessionItem"><br></div><div class="sessionItem">To submit an abstract to the session, use this handy link:</div><div class="sessionItem"><a href="http://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/g/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=2534">http://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/g/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=2534</a></div><div class="sessionItem"><br></div><div class="item"></div><div class="topdisplay"><div class="topdisplay_group"><span class="topdisplay_role">Primary Convener: </span><span class="topdisplay_people"><b>Donald F Argus</b>, JPL, Pasadena, CA, United States</span></div><div class="topdisplay_group"><div class="topdisplay"><div class="topdisplay_group"><span class="topdisplay_role">Co-Convener: </span><span class="topdisplay_people"><b>Jeffrey Todd Freymueller</b>, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK, United States </span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"></span></div></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; border-spacing: 0px;"><div><div class="topdisplay" style="orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><div class="topdisplay_group"><span class="topdisplay_role">Co-Convener: </span><span class="topdisplay_people"><b>Rui Manuel Fernandes</b>, SEGAL — UBI, Portugal </span></div></div><div style="orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"></span></div></div><div><br></div><div>Dr. Jeffrey T.
