Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

2011 Annual Meeting: El Mayor-Cucapah Science and Earthquake Response Workshop

Convener: Mike Oskin, Sinan Akciz, and Ramon Arrowsmith
Date: Sunday, September 11, 2011 (08:00 - 12:00)
Location: Hilton Palm Springs Resort

More than a year has passed after the M7.2 El Mayor Cucupah earthquake. The event provided a view of a major earthquake in Southern California and opportunities for new discoveries in earthquake science and for reflection on future earthquake response activities. The event also engendered important cross border scientific collaborations. Our goals for this workshop are to review the recent research results as well as to take away lessons for the next major Southern California earthquake. Strict time constraints for the presentations will be enforced with 10 minutes on science and 3 minutes on lessons for response.
