The 2005 SCEC Annual Meeting was held on September 11-14 at the Riviera Resort and Racquet Club in Palm Springs, California.

The meeting was organized by the SCEC Planning Committee, chaired by Ralph Archuleta. There were poster presentations with abstracts due no later than August 26. In addition to the normal work of planning future activities, we again had several science talks during the meeting, and evenings were set aside for poster sessions/viewing. Posters were put up on Sunday night and viewed through Tuesday night.

The annual meeting formally started on Monday morning and concluded late Wednesday morning. Prior to the meeting there was a one-day (Sunday, September 11) 3D Rupture Dynamics Code Validation workshop, organized by Ruth Harris and Ralph Archuleta. Also on Sunday, a teacher training workshop was held and a viewing of the Salt Creek trench was organized. A USGS/CGS meeting on fault parameters to be used in seismic shaking hazard evaluation was held Sunday night. On Monday night there was a SCEDC Town Hall meeting.

Following the meeting, there was a FARM/ESP workshop. This workshop was a 2-day field-based trip to several classic localities of exhumed faults in southern California. Examination of the Punchbowl fault in the Devil's Punchbowl and above Wrightwood was the highlight, along with examination of the San Andreas fault near Wrightwood and the complex region along the Bluecut on Highway 66. Field trip leaders were Jim Evans and Judith Chester.
