Project Abstract
The SCEC workshop “SCEC SEAS Group Workshop on Exploring Complexity and Resolution in Earthquake Sequences” was held on Nov. 29th, 2018, at Kellogg West Conference Center on the campus of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in Pomona, California. A total of 36 people participated, including 21 in the meeting room and 15 through remote access. This year our workshop attendees included scientists from the U.S.A., Canada, New Zealand, and Switzerland. Over half of our workshop participants were either graduate students or postdocs. This workshop discussed new science discoveries with SEAS models, as well as results from the second benchmark produced by the SEAS group. Many thanks to Tran Huynh and her team for all of their work that helped make this workshop successful.
Intellectual Merit The SCEC workshop was the primary meeting of our SCEC-SEAS group and other parties interested in computational earthquake cycle simulations.
Broader Impacts The SCEC workshop was the primary meeting of our SCEC-SEAS group and other parties interested in computational earthquake cycle simulations.
Exemplary Figure Figure 4: Shear stress time series for best resolved models with a cell size of 25m, at mid-seismogenic depth (14.4km) show excellent agreements, with divergence over time.
