Meeting Abstracts
The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) collaborates with academic, government, industry, and other organizations to advance earthquake science, community resilience, and education by: (1) Gathering and analyzing data from field observations and laboratory experiments. (2) Developing system-level models and simulations of earthquake processes to synthesize knowledge as a physics-based understanding of seismic hazard. (3) Communicating that understanding to expand knowledge and reduce earthquake risk.
Participants are invited to present recent work aligned with SCEC priorities during the poster sessions.

The 2025 Mw7.7 Mandalay, Myanmar, earthquake: extremely long and uniform rupture part of a fault supercycle
Solène Antoine, Rajani Shrestha, Chris Milliner, Kyungjae Im, Chris Rollins, Kang Wang, Kejie Chen, Jean-Philippe Avouac Large earthquakes often occur on faults that were known to have produced destructive events in the past. The 2025 Mw7.7 Mandalay earthquake is no exception as it ruptured a known seismicity gap along the Sagaing fault. Remote sensing observations of... more Themes: Improving Observations and Closing Data Gaps | Advanced Modeling Frameworks | Improving Predictive Analyses of Seismicity |

An Ensemble of Block Models Applied to Southern California
Monica Diaz, Eileen Evans Pacific-North American plate boundary deformation in Southern California is distributed across a geometrically complex fault system. Understanding the strain distribution across faults in such a complex network requires robust estimates of fault... more Themes: Improving Observations and Closing Data Gaps |

Nowcasting Earthquakes with QuakeGPT: An AI-Enhanced Earthquake Generative Pretrained Transformer
John Rundle Our recent work on earthquake nowcasting has been concerned with the development of methods to track the time dependent state of earthquake risk using earthquake catalog data and standard machine learning techniques. We show the current state of... more Themes: Advanced Modeling Frameworks |

Improving Iso-surface Depth (z1.0) Estimates for California Sites from Measured Profiles and Geology-Based Proxy Models for Ground Motion Studies
Rashid Shams, Chukwuebuka Nweke, Tristan Buckreis, Scott Brandenberg, Jonathan Stewart Accurate estimates of subsurface shear wave velocity structure are essential for predicting ground motions and ensuring the resilience of lifeline infrastructure during earthquakes. The depth to a shear wave velocity of 1000 m/s (z1.0) is a key... more Themes: Advanced Modeling Frameworks | Applied Science Implementation |

Bimaterial Effect and Favorable Energy Ratio Enable Supershear Rupture in the 2025 Myanmar Quake
Liuwei Xu, Lingsen Meng, Zhang Yunjun, Yidi Wang, Yanchen Yang, Changyang Hu, Huihui Weng, Wenbin Xu, Elizabeth Su, Chen Ji At 12:51 p.m. local time on March 28, 2025, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck near Mandalay, Myanmar. To resolve the rupture process of this major strike-slip event, we applied finite fault inversion and Back-Projection to seismic and geodetic... more Themes: Improving Observations and Closing Data Gaps |

The Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability in China: Experiment Design and Preliminary Results of CSEP2.0
Shengfeng Zhang, Yongxian Zhang, Maximilian Werner, Kenny Graham, David Rhoades, José Bayona In earlier CSEP1.0 experiments in China, the PI model was used for alarm-based, intermediate-to-long-term forecasts of earthquakes with magnitude MS ≥ 6.0 in the Yunnan–Sichuan region (Zhang et al., 2016). That study adopted a magnitude cutoff of 3.... more Themes: Developing Rheologies and Bridging Multi-Scales | Improving Predictive Analyses of Seismicity | Applied Science Implementation |
