Date: 03/20/2019

On Behalf of Nadia Lapusta, Caltech:

Subject: White paper draft on modeling earthquake source processes (MESP)

Dear SCEC community members,

Based on the NSF-funded workshop on "Modeling earthquake source processes: from tectonics to dynamic rupture" which took place on Oct. 8-10, 2018, a draft of the report has been produced and posted at:

http://seismolab.caltech.edu/modeling-earthquake-source-workshop.html

The goal of the white paper report is to discuss the needed future progress in the field and provide input to the CORES study (http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/cores/) of the National Academies.

If you have any feedback to the white paper, please send it by March 25 to mesp.workshop@gps.caltech.edu and cc to lapusta@caltech.edu. After that date, the writing group will consider the comments and finalize the report by early April; the draft will also undergo further formatting for style.

Best wishes,
Nadia

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.
