In the past 15 years, numerous large earthquakes have struck in progressive sequences, with time spans ranging from minutes to decades, and earthquakes separated by a few km to hundreds of km. Examples include the 2009 M 7.7, 7.8, and 7.4 Vanuatu, 2011 M 9.1 and M 7.9 Tohoku, 2012 M 8.6 and M 8.2 Wharton Basin, 2019 M 6.4 and M 7.1 Ridgecrest, 2023 M 7.8 and M 7.7 Kahramanmaras earthquakes. In addition, the 2012 M 8.6 Wharton Basin shock triggered worldwide aftershocks, a phenomenon that can only be explained by dynamic triggering imparted by surface waves. Efforts to understand and forecast these occurrences have rapidly evolved, with attempts to capture the interaction and decays by Coulomb stress changes, rate/state friction, aftershock (ETAS) statistics, and fluid diffusion. This session welcomes analyses of such interactions, as well as testable forecasts of earthquake occurrence, and software tools to investigate these processes.
