Abstract
Cooperative research by scientists of the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) has resulted in important new findings concerning the fundamental characteristics of earthquakes and new insight into mitigating earthquake hazards. Much of the research is being conducted under the U.S. State Department Protocol for Scientific and Technical Cooperation in Earthquake Studies between the PRC State Seismological Bureau (SSB) and the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Science Foundation. Activities and progress accomplished under the protocol will be the subject of two special sessions at the 1985 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, Calif. A special session in tectonophysics will emphasize cooperative activities in earthquake prediction research and intraplate faulting, and a special session in seismology will examine earth structure and seismicity. A delegation of 20 scientists from China will join their American colleagues in presenting papers on cooperative research.
