2016 Meeting Program and Agenda
The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Geological Survey to develop a comprehensive understanding of earthquakes in Southern California and elsewhere, and to communicate useful knowledge for reducing earthquake risk. SCEC coordinates a broad collaboration that builds across disciplines and enables a deeper understanding of system behavior than would be accessible by individual researchers or institutions working alone. At the SCEC Annual Meeting, members of the community gather to share and get updates on SCEC research projects and activities, as well as plan collaborations for the coming year.
Meeting Program. The 2016 SCEC Annual Meeting was the last meeting of the SCEC4 Collaboration "Tracking Earthquake Cascades" and the initiation of the SCEC5 phase of the Center (2017-2022). The SCEC Science Planning Committee designed the program to strategize for the goals set forth in the SCEC5 proposal. The meeting sessions were comprised of a series of thematic discussions to engage the community in the new efforts and initiatives of SCEC. Each theme discussion began with two plenary talks, followed by moderated discussions on each theme. The SCEC community provided input and guidance on those potential directions during the discussion sessions. If you have not attended a SCEC Annual Meeting program before, please see the 2015 SCEC Annual Meeting to see a typical program.
