Announcement for the 2007 Workshop on Community Finite Element Models
for Fault Systems and Tectonic Studies

The focus of this gathering will be on computational models  
addressing the seismic cycle across single and multiple events. The  
workshop will blend science talks on case studies from particular  
faulting environments and on key rheological behavior with  
discussions of current obstacles to crustal deformation modeling and  
software development priorities.

As in previous years, topics will also span a variety of  
computational issues including how to go from a geologic structural  
model to a finite element model, different numerical issues including  
optimal meshes and remeshing, and consideration of different bulk and  
fault zone rheologies. Another explicit goal of this workshop is to  
provide basic training in the installation, use, and customization of  
existing, freely available modeling software for crustal deformation.  
There will be dedicated time at the beginning and end of the workshop  
for hands-on interaction with other users and developers of the  
primary existing tools. This year's workshop will be held from June  
25-29, 2007, in Golden, Colorado on the campus of the Colorado School  
of Mines. Limited reimbursement is available for all participants,  
for a portion of costs incurred. There are no registration fees.

Confirmed Speakers: Eric Dunham, David Kohlstedt, Jim Dietrich, Jean  
Chery, Kengo Nakajima

Logistics:
We have arranged affordable housing on campus in the Weaver Towers,  
and the location of the meeting will be in the Student Center, as  
before. There are a block of rooms available at the Table Mountain  
Inn and the Golden Hotel. For full details about dorm and hotel  
accommodations, sharing rooms, travel reimbursement, airport shuttle  
and local maps, see the announcement:
