This is a collaborative wiki site for SCEC's Community Modeling Environment (CME). The CME is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research group that applies advanced computer science technology to the problem of seismic hazard analysis. This SCEC community wiki is configured to support our distributed research by providing a collection point for information about SCEC scientific computing research projects.

Recent Earthquake Information
An important goal of SCEC earthquake research is to reduce the hazard from future earthquakes by developing physics-based predictive models of earthquake processes.
