SUMMARY: With funding from NSF, USGS and other sponsors, the Southern California Earthquake Center has transitioned to become the Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC). This creates exciting research and collaboration opportunities that span the entire transform plate boundary, encompassing the Pacific and North American Plates from western Nevada to Baja California and Cape Mendocino.

SCEC, USGS, CGS, NASA, LLNL, CIG, and other academic partners invite you to an online workshop March 4-5, 2024 focused on developing “community models” for seismic hazard assessments in California. These community models integrate knowledge and describe a wide range of features in the California lithosphere and asthenosphere that influence seismic activity. These community earth models (CEMs) include: geologic models, fault models, rheology and thermal models, stress models, seismic velocity models, geodetic models and more. Our goal is to develop a robust and self-consistent suite of models for California usable by diverse experts to simulate seismic phenomena.

At the upcoming workshop, we'll explore use cases for California community models, assess existing models and datasets along the San Andreas Fault System, and identify areas for improvement and future collaborative research efforts. Our vision is to refine and merge regional models, ultimately creating internally-consistent, best-available models of the entire San Andreas Fault System.

Whether you're already invested or just curious, we welcome your participation! Join us in mapping a path towards statewide Community Earth Models for California.
