SCEC Award and Report: 22157

SUMMARY: The SCEC Dynamic Rupture Group has examined in detail the essential ingredients needed to produce viable large-earthquake source simulations, and has tested our computational methods, giving us confidence that we can understand how our assumptions affect our dynamic rupture computational results. Our next step is to learn more about cutting-edge new ideas in EQ source mechanics, including newly modeled earthquakes which have occurred, scenarios of future earthquakes, and novel findings about fault friction, stress, fault geometry, and rock properties.  We also have opportunities to better our modeling approaches.

Questions we hope to answer in this workshop include:

1. What have we learned about earthquake physics from recent large earthquakes?
2. Can simulations help us understand the likelihood of future large earthquake occurrence?
3. Are there new computational methods we can use to help us do our work more easily?
4. Are there guidelines for new scientists joining the field?
5. What are related SCEC groups doing?

This workshop will be held as a Zoom meeting on January 12, 2023. The program will consist of some 10-15 minute presentations, lightning talks (1 slide, 1-minute), and ample time for Q&A and discussion. The workshop closes with a group discussion about SCEC Dynamic Rupture Group research activities. To promote active discussion, the workshop is limited to 60 participants and by invitation only. If you (or someone you know) can make contributions to answering the questions above, please contact the conveners.
