Project Abstract
 This collaborative proposal was to implement the first version of the
SCEC Community Stress Model (CSM) web site. The design specifics
resulted from community discussions and CSM model candidates are from
community model contributions as supported over a series of CSM
workshops. The web site is now operational, all stress model
contributions as well as plotting scripts are freely available for
download, along with workshop material. Initial stress model
validation capabilities are also accesible.
Intellectual Merit The CSM web site serves to archive, organize, enable and energize
several of the efforts of the CSM community, and will serve as a
repository for future additional constraints for validation (e.g.
expanded borehole data). The CSM website will also host future
iterations of CSM release models, openly accessible to all. This will
not only foster scientific discourse on the fault loading problem for
southern California, but also build bridges to research in other
communities, such as induced seismicity studies.
