Date: 12/20/2016
On behalf of Alice-Agnes Gabriel, LMU Munich
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite abstracts to the following interdisciplinary session at EGU 2017 (23rd-28th April, Vienna):
Numerical modeling of earthquake physics (SM2.3/EMRP4.14)
(session description below)
Invited presentations by Jean-Paul Ampuero (Caltech, USA) Yumi Urata (NIED, Japan) and Takane Hori (Jamstec, Japan)
Conveners: Alice Gabriel, Hideo Aochi
Link: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/session/24008
Abstract deadline: 11 Jan 2017
Note, that Vienna will be extremely busy just before and during EGU because of the Vienna Marathon (on April 23) and another conference at the same time as EGU. Please make your bookings way in advance (that is -- as soon as possible).
On behalf of the co-convenor Hideo Aochi, and with apologies for cross-posting,
Alice
----------
Numerical modeling of earthquakes provides new approaches to apprehend the physics of earthquake rupture, seismic wave propagation, fault zone evolution and seismic hazard assessment.
Recent advances in numerical algorithms and increasing computational power enable unforeseen precision and details in physics-based earthquake simulation but also pose challenges in terms of fully exploiting modern supercomputing infrastructure, realistic parameterization of simulation ingredients and the analysis of large synthetic datasets.
This session aims to bring together modelers and data analysists interested in the physics and computational aspects of earthquake phenomena. We welcome studies focusing on all aspects of the physics of various earthquakes - from slow slip events and rupture dynamics to wave propagation and ground motion analysis - and studies which further the state-of-the art in the related computational and numerical aspects.
