Workshop May 2011
California State-wide Community Velocity Model (CVM) Development: a State-wide 3D Velocity Model for California
Workshop Date: Tuesday 10 May 2011 Workshop Time: 9:30am – 11:00am (90 minutes) Agenda Version: 8 May 2011
- We plan to hold two CVM development workshops via teleconference calls prior to the next SCEC Annual Meeting (which will be held Sept 11-14, 2011).
- First CVM workshop to discuss and establish CVM development goals (10 May 2011)
- Second CVM workshop to discuss CVM development plans (week of June 13, 2011)
- Several trends are pushing SCEC towards development of state-wide models:
- State-wide Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF) development
- CISN and ANSS
- Operational Earthquake Forecasting
- Simulation for large California regions
- SCEC4 goals
- Statewide wave propagation-based PSHA calculations (CyberShake)
- SCEC context supporting development of state-wide CVM
- SCEC’s long standing scientific goal of compatible, integrated, computational structural models to support seismic hazard computational models including fault stress models, dynamic rupture simulations, wave propagation models, earthquake simulators:
- CVM
- CFM
- Block Model
- Crustal Motion Model
- UCERF2.0 development
- UCERF3.0 development
- Release of multiple southern California CVM’s (CVM-S4 and CVM-H 11.2)
- Introduction of alternative Geotechnical layer models-based on Vs30
- SCEC’s long standing scientific goal of compatible, integrated, computational structural models to support seismic hazard computational models including fault stress models, dynamic rupture simulations, wave propagation models, earthquake simulators:
