In this SCEC-funded workshop, we will bring together 30 graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists for a science-driven, hands-on program on earthquake-cycle physics and SEAS modeling. Invited speakers Brittany Erickson (University of Oregon), So Ozawa (Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo), and Pierre Romanet (GéoAzur, France), together with participant presenters, will highlight new observations of the seismic cycle and their integration into physics-based models, recent advances in SEAS simulations, and community efforts focused on open-source software and code validation. Participants will then translate these concepts into practice through hands-on training using Tandem, an open-source HPC SEAS code for modeling earthquake cycles with realistic fault geometry, material heterogeneity, and frictional behavior. They will learn to design their own simulations, generate meshes using the open-source software Gmsh, and run models on laptops and on the SDSC supercomputer Expanse through the Science Gateway Quakeworx. We will also discuss the visualization and interpretation of SEAS outputs, equipping participants to use SEAS simulations in their own research.
We encourage applications from anyone interested in earthquakes, slow slip events, seismic-cycle physics, and SEAS simulations, and who is motivated to develop computational and numerical modeling skills. The workshop is especially well suited for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with interests in earthquake physics, geodesy, seismology, geodynamics, or related fields. Prior experience with high-performance computing is not required, but a willingness to engage with computational tools is important.
