Workshop Goals
The goal of the workshop is to produce a white paper on future research directions that will enable substantial progress in modeling earthquake source processes, by coupling:
-- multiple temporal scales: dynamic rupture, interseismic period/earthquake sequences, short-term tectonics;
-- multiple spatial scales: shear zone/fault core, damage zone/deeper extensions, fault segment, fault network;
-- multiple physical and chemical factors: fluid effects, realistic geometry, inelastic processes.
