SCEC Award: 16183
Attendance: If interested in attending, please complete application (due May 9).

OVERVIEW: Understanding stress conditions within the crust is a key component of physics-based earthquake rupture forecasting. SCEC5 will feature a community rheology model (CRM) that formally links strain rate to stressing rate, and, ultimately, absolute stress state in southern California. A geologic framework, containing lithology and thermal properties, is a necessary constituent of such a model. This workshop will bring together geologists, geophysicists, and geodynamicists to define how a geologic framework for southern California should be constructed. There is a deep body of knowledge of the lithology and lithospheric architecture of southern California, but no comprehensive three-dimensional model yet exists. The workshop will be structured around defining goals for a geologic framework model that can be realistically achieved over SCEC5.

    DAY 1: Full-Day of topical sessions, limited invited presentations, & breakout group discussions.
    DAY 2: Half-Day of writing and discussion for workshop conveners & science contributors.
