The goal of the workshop is to brainstorm future research directions that will enable substantial progress in modeling earthquake source processes. The workshop aims to involve researchers from numerical modeling as well as field observations and lab experiments that provide input and constrains to the modeling. Limited support for travel expenses is available due to funding from the National Science Foundation, with priority for students and early career scientists. More information about the workshop can be found at: http://www.seismolab.caltech.edu/workshop.html To participate in the workshop, please apply by filling out the following online form by June 15, 2018: https://goo.gl/forms/M090UGE5XvSLkVxK2 If you cannot attend the workshop but would like to contribute to writing the white paper, please fill out the online form as well.

We have consolidated the judging for several awards to keep the per judge load to be ~4 presentations, using a simple format for judging. There are four Solid Earth sessions, three ES-SSA sessions and CIG poster presentations during the meeting, in which there are student oral and poster presentations. If you are able to assist in this vital activity, please get in contact with the Solid Earth Section awards co-ordinator for the meeting, Phil McCausland, at pmccausl at uwo.ca . Judging forms will be available during the meeting at the sessions and at the CGU Solid Earth Section AGM on Monday lunchtime. The awards under consideration are: Chevron Canada Outstanding Student Presentation in Seismology (oral) CGU Solid Earth Section Best Student Presentation (oral or poster) ES-SSA Best Student Presentation (oral, poster) Looking forward to seeing you there! -pjam Past President, CGU Solid Earth Section -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Rayleigh is designed for the study of MHD turbulence and convection in spherical (and soon Cartesian) geometries using a pseudo-spectral approach and runs efficiently on O(10^5) cores. The workshop consists of TWO SEPARATE EVENTS: I. TUTORIAL: 15 September 2018. The Introduction to Rayleigh Workshop will introduce new users to running the Rayleigh code. Limit: 25 participants. II. DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP: 16-19 September 2018. The Rayleigh Development Workshop will: Introduce current users to the parallel design and algorithmic structure of Rayleigh so that they may modify the code effectively. Establish collaborations on short-term development tasks. For example, such tasks might include the design of robust methods for reading in custom reference-state profiles, implementation of new diagnostic outputs, development of data visualization pipelines and routines, and improvement of documentation. Establish work flows for contributing to the repository. Establish a core-development team that is authorized to approve changes to the code moving forward. Establish long-term objectives for the continued development of Rayleigh. Limit: 20 participants You can apply to attend one or both events. Notification of Acceptance Begins: August 1, 2018 Sincerely, Organizing Committee Nick Featherstone, University of Colorado, Boulder Jon Aurnou, UC Los Angeles Lorraine Hwang, UC Davis CIG Geodynamo Working Group Best, -Lorraine ***************************** Lorraine Hwang, Ph.D. Associate Director, CIG 530.752.3656 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
