2016 SCEC Ventura Special Fault Study Area Workshop
Applications Due: August 8, 2016 Date: September 10, 2016 SCEC Award: 16027 First Workshop: August 15, 2013 |
CONVENERS: Scott Marshall, James Dolan, Thomas Rockwell, and John Shaw
OVERVIEW: With the Ventura Special Fault Study Area winding down in the next year, the time has come to bring together the most up to date and significant results and attempt to form a consensus view of the Ventura fault system and its associated hazards. To this end, we will host a 1-day workshop on the Saturday before the 2016 SCEC Annual Meeting in Palm Springs, CA. Workshop presentations will focus on recent findings for the Ventura SFSA in the areas of near-surface and offshore geophysics, crustal structure, geodesy, fault modeling, paleoseismology, tectonic geomorphology, seismology, and dynamic rupture and tsunami modeling. Each topical session will have invited oral presentations followed by significant time for constructive discussions.
