Project Abstract

Intellectual Merit Accurate and realistic computation of ground motion is essential for hazard mitigation. The SCEC broadband platform is one of the premier computational tools to simulate earthquakes that will generate broadband ground motion. However, most of the effort to date has been on strike-slip earthquakes. The ground motion from dipping faults, which are prevalent throughout Southern California, has not been studied as well. This project is a first step in that direction.
Broader Impacts One of the primary elements of SCEC is to produce ground motion that can be incorporated into major programs such as the USGS hazard maps. However, this requires earthquake simulations that have to be based on physics based dynamic simulations. This project determines the correlations among the kinematic parameters necessary for realistic ground motion estimates.
