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!

2013 SCEC BroadBand Platform and Ground Motion Simulations Workshop

Conveners: Norm Abrahamson and Christine Goulet
Dates: September 8, 2013 (08:00-12:00)
Location: Hilton Palm Springs Resort, Palm Springs, CA

SUMMARY: This workshop focused on the validation of methods for ground motion simulations and on the development of forward simulations for engineering applications, using methods implemented on the SCEC BroadBand Platform (BBP). The objectives were to inform, spur discussions and collect feedback for future development. The session is organized around three main topics:

  • Summary of the first phase of the validation exercise (against recorded events and ground motion prediction equations) and presentation of evaluation results
  • Discussion on parameterization of new scenarios and review of preliminary forward simulation results
  • Discussion of the development plans for the next few years: additional methods and improvements, scientific problems and computational issues to resolve, refinement of evaluation criteria, etc.

Presentation slides may be downloaded by clicking the title. PLEASE NOTE: Slides are the author’s property. They may contain unpublished or preliminary information and should only be used while viewing the talk.
