In U.S., three major earthquakes occurred in New Madrid region during 1811-‐1812, with magnitudes of at least 7.0. These powerful earthquakes were felt widely over the entire eastern United States. In the epicentral area the ground surface was described as in great convulsion with sand and water ejected tens of feet into the air (liquefaction). This sequence of three very large earthquakes is usually referred to as the 1811-‐1812 New Madrid earthquake sequence. On the basis of the large area of damage (600,000 square kilometers) and the complex physiographic changes that occurred, the effects of the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-‐1812 were among the most widespread in the United States since its settlement by Europeans. They were the largest earthquakes in historical times east of the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. and Canada. The 1886 Charleston earthquake is the most damaging earthquake to occur in the Southeast United States and one of the largest historic shocks in eastern North America. It damaged or destroyed many buildings in the old city of Charleston. Hardly a structure there was undamaged, and only a few escaped serious damage. The earthquake and resulting fires caused an estimated 3,000 deaths and $524 million in property loss. Large SCR earthquakes remain poorly understood. The Kutch region has produced two very large (magnitude > 7.5) earthquakes in the past 2000 years. It is enigmatic that such large strain can accumulate in a region away from active plate boundaries. Therefore, the study of SCR earthquakes is important to answer basic questions regarding the source processes responsible for generating such intraplate earthquakes. Such events can also potentially provide clues to help understand the geodynamical processes and earthquake hazard of the region. The purpose of the proposed <strong>workshop</strong> is to strengthen the earthquake research, to learn from the recent experiences in both India and US, and to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers and students from these two countries. A discourse about recent developments in our understanding of SCR earthquakes will benefit both countries. During the <strong>workshop</strong> we will identify promising collaborative projects to address important scientific questions. The <strong>workshop</strong> will thus lay the groundwork for fruitful long-‐term collaborations between the two countries. The Workshopwill providetheopportunity for exchange of state-‐of-‐the art information for understanding earthquake processes and hazard in stable continental regions in India and the U.S.A. We have identified exciting conceptual models and previous experience to design the <strong>workshop</strong> around the elements that will complete and reinforce the knowledge of the participants and facilitate cooperation and dissemination of information.
The USGS and several agencies of India have developed different tectonic models and discussions and exchange of ideas will further provide foundation for accurate statements of the future seismic hazard evaluation of the stable continental regions around the world. By including students in the <strong>workshop</strong>, we will lay the groundwork for future cooperative research projects to address issues discussed during the <strong>workshop</strong>.
