2014 VISES Summer School

SCEC-ERI Summer School for Earthquake Science

Topic: Wave and Rupture Propagation with Realistic Velocity Structures

Dates: September 28-October 2, 2014

Location: Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel, Oxnard, CA

Participants: 50

Overview

The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo (ERI) has organized a Summer School for Earthquake Science September 28 through October 2, 2014. The theme for the Summer School is "Wave and Rupture Propagation with Realistic Velocity Structures". The program includes both lectures and exercises where participants will learn how complex velocity structure is represented and can be used to create seismograms from kinematic representations of earthquakes as point sources and propagating ruptures. One objective is for participants to construct ground motions for earthquake scenarios, which if used in a collective sense can be a method for complementing or creating hazard maps. Participants are given exercises so that they can run the various numerical methods with the supervision of the lecturers. Each participant will present a poster to share his/her research during evening sessions.
