Minisymposium Session Description
MS 86: Computational Methods for Faults, Fault Leakage, and Seismic Hazards
Eric Dunham, Stanford University, USA Ting Lin, Marquette University, USA Joshua White*, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA
This mini-symposium invites contributions on the state-of-the-art in modeling of faults, fault zone processes, and seismic hazards. Of particular interest are novel formulations and numerical methods for describing the impact of faults in both natural settings and within engineered systems. Relevant processes include dynamic rupture, quasi-static slip, seismic wave propagation, fluid flow within fault zones, induced seismicity, thermal and geochemical effects, and others. We seek contributions covering a broad range of applications, including seismic hazard assessment, geophysical monitoring of the subsurface, geologic carbon storage, geothermal systems, waste-fluid disposal, and hydrocarbon production. Submissions describing engineering aspects of ground motion are also welcome. The mini-symposium will provide a cross-cutting forum to describe both scientific and computational challenges to modeling faults and their impact on the natural and engineered environment.
