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!

Workshop on modeling earthquake source processes

Workshop Announcement
Modeling earthquake source processes: from tectonics to dynamic rupture
October 8-10, 2018; Pasadena, California, USA

A workshop on “Modeling earthquake source processes: from tectonics to dynamic rupture” will be held on October 8-10, 2018, on the campus of California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA.

The goal of the workshop is to brainstorm future research directions that will enable substantial progress in modeling earthquake source processes. The workshop aims to involve researchers from numerical modeling as well as field observations and lab experiments that provide input and constrains to the modeling. Limited support for travel expenses is available due to funding from the National Science Foundation, with priority for students and early career scientists. More information about the workshop can be found at:

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.
