Project Abstract
 N/A
Intellectual Merit Last year’s research pertained to many of SCEC’s short-term goals, including A9 (Assess predictability of rupture extent and direction on major faults), A10 (Develop statistical descriptions of heterogeneities (e.g., in stress, strain, geometry and material properties) in fault zones, and understand their origins and implications for seismic hazard by observing and modeling single earthquake ruptures and multiple earthquake cycles), and B1 (Develop kinematic and dynamic rupture representations consistent with seismic, geodetic, and geologic observations).
Broader Impacts This project involved the work of a female SCEC intern, who was so inspired by the work that she will be starting her Ph.D. program with PI Oglesby in Fall 2011. This work has implications for estimating the size of earthquakes, with further implications for ground motion, seismic hazard, and building codes, zoning, and insurance.
