SCEC CSEP Workshop: OEF during the Ridgecrest Sequence and CSEP2 Progress

Conveners: Maximilian Werner (chair), Warner Marzocchi, David Rhoades, Thomas Jordan, and Andy Michael
Date: September 7, 2019
Location: Hilton Palm Springs Resort
Participants: 30 maximum
SCEC Award and Report: 19235

SUMMARY: This workshop is organised by the global Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP), including representatives of the USGS and other international (non-) government agencies deploying Operational Earthquake Forecasting (OEF) models. The goals of the workshop are i) to finalise CSEP2 priorities and to assess progress towards them at the multiple testing centers around the globe, ii) to discuss prospective and retrospective tests of UCERF3-ETAS (u3etas) and other OEF/OAF models during the Ridgecrest earthquake sequence, iii) to manage CSEP software development at SCEC and elsewhere, and iv) to develop CSEP plans for the future.

To promote discussion and due to logistics, the workshop is limited to 30 participants. Interested participants should contact the workshop conveners to inquire about space availability.
