Project Abstract
 The SCEC Workshop on Advancing Simulations of Sequences of Earthquakes and Aseismic Slip (SEAS) was held on Jan. 9th, 2020, at the Kellogg West Conference Center on the campus of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in Pomona, California. A total of 39 people participated, including 18 in the meeting room and 21 through remote access. This year our workshop attendees included scientists from the U.S.A., Germany, Brazil, New Zealand, and Switzerland. Almost half of our workshop participants were either graduate students or postdocs. This workshop discussed new scientific discoveries with SEAS models, as well as results from the third and fourth benchmarks produced by the SEAS group. Many thanks to Tran Huynh and her team for all of their work that helped make this workshop successful.
Intellectual Merit The SCEC workshop was the primary meeting of our SCEC-SEAS group and other parties interested in computational earthquake cycle simulations.
Broader Impacts The SCEC workshop was the primary meeting of our SCEC-SEAS group and other parties interested in computational earthquake cycle simulations.
Exemplary Figure Figure 4. (left) BP4 considers 3D motion with a planar fault embedded in a homogeneous, elastic whole space, rate-and-state friction and quasi-dynamic response. (right) Time series of maximum slip rate for four different simulation results from BP4, showing discrepancies potentially due to differences in cell size and time-stepping procedures.
