Workshops

Overview of New Fault Displacement Models, November 10 2022

We are planning a half-day virtual workshop to present the work to-date of the Fault Displacement Hazard Initiative project. The workshop will discuss the new fault displacement and rupture database and new predictive displacement models developed through the project. The focus will be on the model development, model performance, and end-user information for implementing the models. Participation is free, but registration is required.

SCEC Virtual Workshop: Standardizing Post-Earthquake Field Data Collection, January 2022

We convened a two-day virtual workshop on coordinating post-earthquake data collection. The presentations and discussions were focused on four key aspects of scientific earthquake response: coordination, communication, data needs, and data collection. Our goal for this workshop was to begin working towards updating and improving post-earthquake scientific response, with a focus on meeting the needs of a range of data users. The key outcome of this workshop is a set of action items identified by the workshop attendees, which exceeded 150 people from across the globe. The SCEC Project Report is here.

SCEC Workshop: Next-Generation Fault Displacement Hazard Models, October 2019

We convened a one-day workshop to assemble an interdisciplinary group of researchers actively contributing datasets, analytical methods, models, and simulations pertaining to surface fault displacements, with emphasis on collecting and incorporating measurements of permanent off-fault deformation in Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis (PFDHA). The workshop provided a structured forum to help initiate interdisciplinary collaboration for collecting, analyzing, and modeling data bearing on total (on-fault and off-fault) coseismic displacements. It was also an opportunity for researchers assembling fault displacement databases to present interim results, distribute preliminary database versions to community analysts, and improve future database versions via collaborative efforts to establish dataset needs and reporting conventions for on-fault and off-fault deformation measurements.
