From gabriel at geophysik.uni-muenchen.de Mon Oct 9 03:24:41 2017 From: gabriel at geophysik.uni-muenchen.de (Alice Gabriel) Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2017 12:24:41 +0200 Subject: [CIG-ALL] Workshop on numerical methods for earthquake and tsunami simulation, January 2018 Message-ID: *Call for Abstracts * 2nd ASCETE Workshop (www.ascete.de) on advanced numerical methods for earthquake and tsunami simulation January, 30th - February 2nd, 2018 Berghotel Sudelfeld Bayrischzell, Germany This workshop focuses on the numerical simulation of earthquakes and tsunamis on large-scale HPC infrastructure. Keynote lectures will cover seismic cycle modelling, earthquake physics, tsunami propagation and efficient implementations on modern HPC architectures. Workshop participants are invited for short oral presentations and evening poster sessions. The workshop is dedicated to researchers at all levels, in particular to th interested in the combined simulation of earthquakes and tsunamis. We will present the methods developed in the scope of the ASCETE project to all interested participants. Participation is limited due to the venue: the country-style hotel is located directly at Bavaria's largest skiing area Sudelfeld. Confirmed keynote speakers: Sylvain Barbot, Earth Observatory of Singapore, Singapore Omar Ghattas, University of Texas, Austin, USA Takane Hori, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Kanagawa, Japan Gabriel Lotto, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA Shuo Ma, San Diego State University, San Diego, California, USA Mario Ricchiuto, Inria Bordeaux Sud-Ouest, France Please submit an abstract (max. 200 words) before *Friday, October 27, 2017* and indicate whether you would prefer an oral or a poster presentation. There is a limited amount of places for the workshop, so submitting an abstract does not necessarily secure a spot for the workshop. You will be notified on whether or not you have been granted a place by Friday, November 10, 2017. Further information and abstract submission details can be found at: www.ascete.de.

Our kick-off talk features Taras Gerya, ETH Zurich who will talk about how he uses Matlab in the classroom. Please note that for this webinar only the time will be NOON PT. We are using a new conferencing technology this year. For those who have not used zoom (zoom.us ), please log in a few minutes early to familiarize yourself with the web application. No additional downloads should be required.

Current trend in geodynamic modeling is to develop universal approaches with potentially unlimited number of applications. One simple and flexible method is based on staggered finite differences and marker in cell techniques (SFD-MIC), which demonstrated superior performance in several branches of modern quantitative Earth sciences. It is suitable for modeling various long-term and short-term thermomechanical processes involving large 3D deformation of rheologically complex materials. Recently, potential applicability of this method to technological processes (material science) and natural processes of industrial significance (geo-hydro-mechanics, waste deposits) has also been demonstrated. This webinar gives a short theory of the SFD-MIC method, discuses Matlab-based teaching approach and presents modeling examples of natural and technological significance.
