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!

SCEC Workshop on Probabilistic Fault Displacement: Critical Issues, Data Needs, and Interface Plans

Conveners: Christine GouletAlexandra SarmientoTimothy DawsonYousef Bozorgnia
Dates: October 1, 2019
Location: Kellogg West Conference Center
SCEC Award and Workshop Report: 19201

SUMMARY: This workshop focuses on interface issues related to the development of new state-of-the-art probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis (PFDHA) models. The goal of this workshop is to engage a broad community of participants who can contribute and benefit from the work and facilitate interactions across disciplines. We will cover the needs from industry, the features of the empirical database being developed, the plans for supplementing the dataset with fault rupture simulations, and the overall plans for model building.
