Session Abstract
DESCRIPTION: Simulation of potential ground motions from large earthquakes, utilizing models of earthquake rupture sources and wave propagation, is an area of active research in the earth science community. Refinement and validation of these models requires collaboration between ground motion modelers and engineering users, and testing/rating methodologies for simulated ground motions to be used in engineering applications. This special session will provide the audience with an introduction to this field, with a focus on research activities coordinated by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC). Presenters in this session are drawn from a variety of fields including earth scientists, computer scientists, and engineers. The session aims to provide a concise overview of this field in an effort to disseminate work on this topic to conference participants who might not be exposed to earth science research. Session speakers will to highlight the relation between traditional methods of ground motion simulations and new methods currently under development and evaluation.
