'''Overview.''' The [http://www.scec.org Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC)] and the [http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/eng/ Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo (ERI)] has organized a Summer School for Earthquake Science September 28 through October 2, 2014. The theme for the Summer School is "Wave and Rupture Propagation with Realistic Velocity Structures". The program includes both lectures and exercises where participants will learn how complex velocity structure is represented and can be used to create seismograms from kinematic representations of earthquakes as point sources and propagating ruptures. One objective is for participants to construct ground motions for earthquake scenarios, which if used in a collective sense can be a method for complementing or creating hazard maps. Participants are given exercises so that they can run the various numerical methods with the supervision of the lecturers. Each participant will present a poster to share his/her research during evening sessions. ( [[Media:SCEC-ERIsummerSchool_Program.pdf‎|Download Full Program [PDF]]] )

==Computer Exercises==
 +
===Software===
 +
The program includes a lab component, where students will work in small groups to perform several computer exercises. SCEC will provide laptops (loaded with the necessary software) for the students to share and use during these exercises. Participants are welcome and encouraged to use their own laptops for this part of the program.
 +
 
 +
We will provide the scientific software to be used in the workshop as a Virtual Box Image file. The file will need to be copied onto any computer used. The [[SCEC-ERI_Workshop_Software|SCEC-ERI image]] is also [[SCEC-ERI_Workshop_Software|available online]]. Copies of this file on USB disk drive will be available for installation on site.
 +
 
 +
If you decide to use your own laptop, you will need to install Virtual Box (a free download from Oracle: https://www.virtualbox.org) and then to load a virtual image containing all the required software on your computer.
 +
 
 +
'''Computer requirements.''' Windows 7/8 or a Mac OS X laptop with a recent version of the OS installed, 4GB RAM (8GB+ is definitely better!), and 50GB available on the hard drive. If your computer does not meet these minimum requirements (or if you experience problems setting up your laptop with our software), you are welcome to use/share one of our laptops.
 +
 
 +
'''Obtain and Install Virtual Box.''' If you are able, please plan to install Virtual Box on your computer before the computer exercises begin on Monday afternoon.
 +
 
 +
Instructions are also posted at SCEC wiki: https://scec.usc.edu/scecpedia/Install_Virtual_Box
 +
#Download the Virtual Box software from Oracle (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). This software is free to use. Retrieve a version that is appropriate for the Host Operating system of the computer you want to use. If your laptop runs Mac OS X, then retrieve a version of Virtual Box for Mac OS X. If your laptop runs Windows 8, retrieve a version of Virtual Box for Windows 8. We have tested the SCEC-ERI Image with Virtual Box Version 4.2.24 and higher.
 +
#Follow the Virtual Box installation instructions and install Virtual Box on your computer (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html). The installation procedure varies slightly based on the operating system you are using. It may require administrator permissions to install virtual box on some computers.
 +
 
 +
'''Obtain and Install SCEC-ERI Image.''' For detailed description and install instructions, go to [http://scec.usc.edu/scecpedia/SCEC-ERI_Workshop_Software SCEC-ERI Workshop Software].
 +
 
 +
'''Technical Support.''' Please feel free to contact us (software[at]scec.org) for help installing Virtual Box or the workshop software.
 +
 
 +
===3D Structural Velocity Modeling / USR Framework===
 +
'''Goal.''' This afternoon’s exercises are designed to familiarize you with the components of 3D structural velocity models, including basin structures, faults, and velocity parameterizations. We will accomplish this using the SCEC Unified Structural Representation (USR) for southern California and two tools developed to access and use this model: [[Intro to SCEC-VDO|SCEC VDO]], and interactive 3D visualization tool, and UCVM, which allows you to extract velocity values from these models.

===SCEC Broadband Platform===
 +
The SCEC Broadband Platform (BBP) is a collaborative software development project involving geoscientists, earthquake engineers, graduate students, and the SCEC Community Modeling Environment. The SCEC BBP is open-source scientific software that can generate broadband (0-100Hz) ground motions for earthquakes, integrating complex scientific modules that implement rupture generation, low and high frequency seismogram synthesis, non-linear site effects calculation, and visualization into a software system that supports easy on-demand computation of seismograms.
 +
 +
The Broadband Platform operates in two primary modes: validation simulations and scenario simulations. In validation mode, the Platform runs earthquake rupture and wave propagation modeling software to calculate seismograms for a well-observed historical earthquake. Then, the BBP calculates a number of goodness of fit measurements that quantify how well the model-based broadband seismograms match the observed seismograms for a certain event. Based on these results, the Platform can be used to tune and validate different numerical modeling techniques.
 +
 +
In scenario mode, the Broadband Platform can run simulations for hypothetical (scenario) earthquakes. In this mode, users input an earthquake description, a list of station names and locations, and a 1D velocity model for their region of interest, and the Broadband Platform software then calculates ground motions for the specified stations.
 +
 +
The latest release includes 5 simulation methods, 7 simulation regions covering California, Japan, and Eastern North America, the ability to compare simulation results against GMPEs, and several new data products, such as map and distance-based goodness of fit plots. As the number and complexity of scenarios simulated using the Broadband Platform increases, we have added batching utilities to substantially improve support for running large-scale simulations on computing clusters.
 +
#Northridge SRC file, SoCal velocity structure, 5 stations within 40 km of fault (Epicentral distance is limited so that Green’s functions are computed for less time.) This fault has top of rupture at 5.0 km. Choose 5 stations that are distributed at various distances from fault and various azimuths (Figure 1).
 +
##Students will compute 3-component time histories, Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS), and response spectrum.
 +
##Plot the 3-components of ground motion at each site using the data.
 +
##At the same scale as part b, plot the 3-components of synthetic ground motion.
 +
##Compute the FAS for each component of the data and plot on log-log scale.
 +
##Compute the FAS for each component of the synthetic and plot on log-log scale.
 +
##Compare response spectrum from synthetic with that from GMPE (overlay two plots).
 +
##For students own homework, run a different realization of the kinematic model and compare with the results from parts c and d.
 +
#Northridge, but SRC file will have fault coming to the surface, SoCal velocity structure, 5 stations within 40 km of fault. The dip here should be same as that for Ex.1. However, this fault has top of rupture at 0.0 km. Students can see the difference of surface vs buried rupture.
 +
##Students to compute 3 component time histories, FAS, and response spectrum at the same 5 stations chosen in Exercise 1.
 +
##Compare response spectrum from synthetic with that from GMPE (overlay two plots).
 +
##Compare ground motions between surface rupture (Ex. 1) and buried rupture. Plot synthetics from this exercise (Ex. 2) and those from Ex. 1 on the same plot. Use SAC.
 +
#Strike slip, M 6.6, SoCal velocity structure, surface rupture, 5 stations. All stations are located 20 km from the fault. Hypocenter is random.
 +
##Compute 3-component time histories, FAS, and response spectrum for each station.
 +
##Compare response spectrum from synthetic with that from GMPE (overlay two plots).
 +
##If you have time, repeat parts a and b with a different realization.

SCEC-ERI Summer School for Earthquake Science
Topic: Wave and Rupture Propagation with Realistic Velocity Structures
Dates: September 28-October 2, 2014
Location: Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel, Oxnard, CA
Participants: 50

Overview. The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo (ERI) has organized a Summer School for Earthquake Science September 28 through October 2, 2014. The theme for the Summer School is "Wave and Rupture Propagation with Realistic Velocity Structures". The program includes both lectures and exercises where participants will learn how complex velocity structure is represented and can be used to create seismograms from kinematic representations of earthquakes as point sources and propagating ruptures. One objective is for participants to construct ground motions for earthquake scenarios, which if used in a collective sense can be a method for complementing or creating hazard maps. Participants are given exercises so that they can run the various numerical methods with the supervision of the lecturers. Each participant will present a poster to share his/her research during evening sessions. ( Download Full Program [PDF] )

Computer Exercises

Software

The program includes a lab component, where students will work in small groups to perform several computer exercises. SCEC will provide laptops (loaded with the necessary software) for the students to share and use during these exercises. Participants are welcome and encouraged to use their own laptops for this part of the program.

We will provide the scientific software to be used in the workshop as a Virtual Box Image file. The file will need to be copied onto any computer used. The SCEC-ERI image is also available online. Copies of this file on USB disk drive will be available for installation on site.

If you decide to use your own laptop, you will need to install Virtual Box (a free download from Oracle: https://www.virtualbox.org) and then to load a virtual image containing all the required software on your computer.

Computer requirements. Windows 7/8 or a Mac OS X laptop with a recent version of the OS installed, 4GB RAM (8GB+ is definitely better!), and 50GB available on the hard drive. If your computer does not meet these minimum requirements (or if you experience problems setting up your laptop with our software), you are welcome to use/share one of our laptops.

Obtain and Install Virtual Box. If you are able, please plan to install Virtual Box on your computer before the computer exercises begin on Monday afternoon.

Instructions are also posted at SCEC wiki: https://scec.usc.edu/scecpedia/Install_Virtual_Box

  1. Download the Virtual Box software from Oracle (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). This software is free to use. Retrieve a version that is appropriate for the Host Operating system of the computer you want to use. If your laptop runs Mac OS X, then retrieve a version of Virtual Box for Mac OS X. If your laptop runs Windows 8, retrieve a version of Virtual Box for Windows 8. We have tested the SCEC-ERI Image with Virtual Box Version 4.2.24 and higher.
  2. Follow the Virtual Box installation instructions and install Virtual Box on your computer (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html). The installation procedure varies slightly based on the operating system you are using. It may require administrator permissions to install virtual box on some computers.

Obtain and Install SCEC-ERI Image. For detailed description and install instructions, go to SCEC-ERI Workshop Software.

Technical Support. Please feel free to contact us (software[at]scec.org) for help installing Virtual Box or the workshop software.

3D Structural Velocity Modeling / USR Framework

Goal. This afternoon’s exercises are designed to familiarize you with the components of 3D structural velocity models, including basin structures, faults, and velocity parameterizations. We will accomplish this using the SCEC Unified Structural Representation (USR) for southern California and two tools developed to access and use this model: SCEC VDO, and interactive 3D visualization tool, and UCVM, which allows you to extract velocity values from these models.

SCEC Broadband Platform

The SCEC Broadband Platform (BBP) is a collaborative software development project involving geoscientists, earthquake engineers, graduate students, and the SCEC Community Modeling Environment. The SCEC BBP is open-source scientific software that can generate broadband (0-100Hz) ground motions for earthquakes, integrating complex scientific modules that implement rupture generation, low and high frequency seismogram synthesis, non-linear site effects calculation, and visualization into a software system that supports easy on-demand computation of seismograms.

The Broadband Platform operates in two primary modes: validation simulations and scenario simulations. In validation mode, the Platform runs earthquake rupture and wave propagation modeling software to calculate seismograms for a well-observed historical earthquake. Then, the BBP calculates a number of goodness of fit measurements that quantify how well the model-based broadband seismograms match the observed seismograms for a certain event. Based on these results, the Platform can be used to tune and validate different numerical modeling techniques.

In scenario mode, the Broadband Platform can run simulations for hypothetical (scenario) earthquakes. In this mode, users input an earthquake description, a list of station names and locations, and a 1D velocity model for their region of interest, and the Broadband Platform software then calculates ground motions for the specified stations.

The latest release includes 5 simulation methods, 7 simulation regions covering California, Japan, and Eastern North America, the ability to compare simulation results against GMPEs, and several new data products, such as map and distance-based goodness of fit plots. As the number and complexity of scenarios simulated using the Broadband Platform increases, we have added batching utilities to substantially improve support for running large-scale simulations on computing clusters.

  1. Northridge SRC file, SoCal velocity structure, 5 stations within 40 km of fault (Epicentral distance is limited so that Green’s functions are computed for less time.) This fault has top of rupture at 5.0 km. Choose 5 stations that are distributed at various distances from fault and various azimuths (Figure 1).
    1. Students will compute 3-component time histories, Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS), and response spectrum.
    2. Plot the 3-components of ground motion at each site using the data.
    3. At the same scale as part b, plot the 3-components of synthetic ground motion.
    4. Compute the FAS for each component of the data and plot on log-log scale.
    5. Compute the FAS for each component of the synthetic and plot on log-log scale.
    6. Compare response spectrum from synthetic with that from GMPE (overlay two plots).
    7. For students own homework, run a different realization of the kinematic model and compare with the results from parts c and d.
  2. Northridge, but SRC file will have fault coming to the surface, SoCal velocity structure, 5 stations within 40 km of fault. The dip here should be same as that for Ex.1. However, this fault has top of rupture at 0.0 km. Students can see the difference of surface vs buried rupture.
    1. Students to compute 3 component time histories, FAS, and response spectrum at the same 5 stations chosen in Exercise 1.
    2. Compare response spectrum from synthetic with that from GMPE (overlay two plots).
    3. Compare ground motions between surface rupture (Ex. 1) and buried rupture. Plot synthetics from this exercise (Ex. 2) and those from Ex. 1 on the same plot. Use SAC.
  3. Strike slip, M 6.6, SoCal velocity structure, surface rupture, 5 stations. All stations are located 20 km from the fault. Hypocenter is random.
    1. Compute 3-component time histories, FAS, and response spectrum for each station.
    2. Compare response spectrum from synthetic with that from GMPE (overlay two plots).
    3. If you have time, repeat parts a and b with a different realization.
