2019 Community Rheology Model Workshop: Testing and Refining the Preliminary CRM
Conveners: Elizabeth Hearn, Michael Oskin, Greg Hirth, Whitney Behr, Wayne Thatcher, and Laurent Montesi
Dates: May 5, 2019
Location: Hilton Palm Springs Resort
SCEC Award and Report: 19195
SUMMARY: The SCEC Community Rheology Model (CRM) TAG is developmenting a CRM, which will provide the constitutive properties essential for understanding time-varying tectonic stress accumulation and earthquake stress release in southern California. The CRM comprises a Community Thermal Model (CTM), a Geologic Framework (GF), and a suite of ductile flow laws for GF rock types and shear zones. During this workshop, a preliminary CRM will be presented to a small group of deformation modelers. Together, we will discuss where the CRM goes from here, that is, prioritized additions and refinements, format, versioning and other considerations. Our goal is to develop a CRM that appeals to the widest possible community of future users while measurably advancing SCEC science.
