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.


  
  
  
  

A SCEC username is required to submit an abstract.

The person submitting the abstract is automatically the First Author, and will receive all communications regarding the abstract.

A First Author can have a maximum of one poster and one oral presentation (if invited as a plenary speaker).

Each "poster space" in the online gallery will include general poster information, author contact information, and a PDF of the poster, as well as optional short videos about the poster.

First Authors of accepted abstracts will receive more detailed instructions.

During the meeting, posters are presented in two groups:
A (Sunday/Monday), and B (Monday/Tuesday). See the SCEC2026 agenda and FAQ for more details.

221 		GM ShakeOut Scenario 2.0: Dynamic Rupture Modeling of the M7.8 Earthquake on Southern San Andreas Fault and the Resulting Long-Period Ground Motion
Laura Grenot Jones, Clare Ip, Tomoka Ohmori, Ashley Seeman, Chunhui Zhao, Ahmed Elbanna
Southern California sits atop the southern San Andreas Fault, which has not produced a major rupture in over 300 years and is capable of a magnitude ~7.8 earthquake. Anticipating how such an event would nucleate, propagate, and shake the Los Angeles... more

227 		GM Planning for simulations of a scenario large aftershock in the Los Angeles Basin - ShakeOut2.0
Ruth Harris, Michael Barall, Katherine Scharer, Ahmed Elbanna, Kristen Chiama, Andreas Plesch, Alice-Agnes Gabriel, Chunhui Zhao, James Dolan, Craig Nicholson, Kim Olsen, Robert Graves, Jeanne Hardebeck, Karen Luttrell, Scott Callaghan, Mei-Hui Su, Kevin Milner, Morgan Page, Akash Bhatthal, Lucile Jones
Observations of earthquakes over the centuries have taught us that large earthquakes are always followed by aftershocks. The ShakeOut Scenario 2.0 mainshock simulates a dynamically propagating large earthquake rupturing the southern San Andreas... more

099 		Geology Holocene Earthquakes and Slip Rates within the San Gorgonio Pass and implications for the ShakeOut Scenario 2.0
Richard Heermance, Katherine Scharer, Bryan Castillo
The San Gorgonio Pass (SGP) represents a structurally complex region of the southern San Andreas fault (SAF), where it diverges into multiple strands and has produced a region of low hills. Over the last decade, at least six published studies... more

168 		ASI Seismic Retrofit Needs in Southern California Before the ShakeOut Earthquake, and the Cost of Dithering
Ishmael Legaspi, Sandi Shwe Win, LaMar Anderson, Lucile Jones, Keith Porter
Earthquake hazard maps show how strongly the ground will shake with a specified probability. The language of probability tends to hinder rather than to aid decision-making for most people. We used the original ShakeOut scenario shakemap to a... more

080 		CEM Suitable 3D Geometry for the San Andreas Fault ShakeOut Scenario 2.0 from Seismicity
Craig Nicholson
A critical component of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) ShakeOut Scenario 2.0 rupture model is accurate and reliable 3D fault geometry. This geometry can be provided by the fault models in CFM5.3 that are based on surface mapping, seismicity and... more

Corey Rightmyer, Mark Benthien, Edward Salcido
Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills began in California in 2008 and have expanded to all U.S. states and territories, with participation worldwide coordinated by SCEC. In 2025, more than 19.3 million people participated nationwide, among more than 60... more

225 		GM Dynamic Rupture Simulations and 0-1 Hz Ground Motions of Two Leading Candidate Models for ShakeOut Scenario 2.0
Chunhui Zhao, Ahmed Elbanna, Kristen Chiama
The southern San Andreas Fault has not hosted a major rupture in over 300 years and is widely regarded as capable of a magnitude ~7.8 earthquake. Anticipating how such an event would nucleate, propagate, and shake the Los Angeles region is central... more
