SCEC Community Stress Model (CSM) Workshop
Conveners: Bruce Shaw (Columbia), Joann Stock (Caltech), Jeanne Hardebeck (USGS), and Thorsten Becker (USC)
Date: September 13, 2015 (13:00 – 17:00)
Location: Hilton Palm Springs Resort, Palm Springs, CA
SCEC Award: 15068
OVERVIEW: The goals of the Community Stress Model (CSM) workshop are to report to the larger SCEC community the progress made on the CSM in SCEC4, and to discuss the future of the CSM as we transition into SCEC5. Currently, the CSM exists as a set of models of stress and stressing rate in southern California that are publicly available through the CSM website in a common format.
For this short meeting, we want to focus on two items.
- Results: Stress Rate Aligns with Focal Mechanisms. This line of work has shown that strain rates derived from GPS data and stressing directions inferred from focal mechanism inversions are aligning. The agreement of two independent data sets lends support for both types of models.
- The Next Step: Borehole Data. Looking ahead, a clear next step is to seek other independent data to compare stress models against, in particular borehole data. This part of the workshop will focus on the potential of that data.
Looking forward to SCEC5, workshop participants will discuss important issues such as how to validate stress and stressing rate models, and how to incorporate more results from physical modeling into the CSM. Anyone is welcome to attend this workshop.
