New Challenges in Earthquake Dynamics: Observing and Modelling a Multi-Scale System
From : 18.10.2008 Till : 23.10.2008 Location : Ötz Valley near Innsbruck, Austria
The aim of the event is to discuss the recent advances in earthquake physics, in particular relating to earthquake interactions (observations, models). An emphasis will be given on the role of small scale processes and structures in controlling large scale earthquakes and regional seismicity. It will promote new, exploratory discussions on how to reconcile large scale regional models with small-scale controls on stress and seismicity. The conference is divided into 8 sessions: observation of seismicity patterns, stochastic modelling of earthquake interactions, earthquake rupture in an heterogeneous crust, non-elastic processes at the small scale and how they affect earthquake occurrence at the large scale, from small to large scales: how to account for largely unresolved small scale processes in seismicity dynamics?, quality of earthquake catalogues and uncertainties in seismicity modelling, measuring and modelling seismic responses to stress changes as well as statistical volcano seismology. Some grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and possibly part of the travel costs.
