Project Abstract
 We are combing earthquake source parameter estimates with dynamic rupture simulations to examine rupture propagation through the San Gorgonio pass section of the San Andreas Fault. 2017 accomplishments focused on developing the stress drop database for the region and mapping the SCEC community fault model into an appropriate mesh for the 3D rupture simulations.
Intellectual Merit This project is an example of SCEC's method of combining fault specific data analysis in Southern California with physics based simulations of earthquake rupture to better understand particularly important earthquake hazard problems.
Broader Impacts This grant supported an International collaboration between Yajing Liu (McGill Univ) and Jeff McGuire (WHOI) and involves a graduate student at McGill.
