We are seeking diverse studies aimed at observing, analyzing, and modeling these settings in order to better constrain the underlying deformation processes and geodynamics, as well as the corresponding seismic hazards. Please see the detailed description below our signatures. Dr. Sylvain Barbot from USC has agreed to be the invited speaker at this session. You can submit your abstract by clicking on “Abstract submission” at this link: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/36280 Reminder: The deadline for abstract submission is *15 January 2020*. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! Your Conveners, Matt Herman, Ylona van Dinther, Marcos Moreno, and Luca Dal Zilio ---------- *TS5.2. Advances in understanding earthquake sequences and (a)seismic slip across scales* *The largest earthquakes globally occur along plate boundaries, producing intense shaking and associated secondary hazards over broad regions. In the past few years, there have been significant improvements in the quantity and quality of geodetic, seismological, and geological observations of the slow accumulation and rapid release of strain at these plate boundaries. At the same time, improvements in modeling techniques are providing new insights into the geodynamic processes controlling the occurrence of major earthquakes. With these advances, it is now becoming possible to address outstanding issues about both seismic and aseismic deformation at plate boundaries, such as time-variable locking and unlocking of the plate interface, the extent and role of slow slip events, the links between earthquake cycles and permanent deformation, and the behavior of complete cycles revealed by paleo-seismic and paleo-geodetic observations.* *We invite contributions that investigate the spectrum of deformation occurring throughout the earthquake cycle at plate boundaries, from aseismic to seismic and across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Submissions that utilize improved remote and field observational capabilities, developments in data analysis, or innovations in analog and numerical modeling to advance the understanding of the underlying physical processes are encouraged.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For those interested in the application and the development of numerical models for studying geological processes, we invite you to submit an abstract (session description below). The deadline for abstracts is January 15, 2020 - 13:00 CET. Abstract submission can be done via the session website: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/34744 We wish to highlight that our session includes the GD Division Outstanding ECS Lecture by Dr. Tobias Keller (Uni Glasgow). Best regards, Ludovic Räss Thibault Duretz Boris Kaus Dave May _________________________________________________________ Session Description Advances in Numerical Modelling of Geological Processes: Methods and Applications [GD10.1/EMRP1/SM7/TS10] Geological and geophysical data sets are in essence the output of physical processes governing the Earth’s evolution. Such data sets are widely varied and range from the internal structure of the Earth (e.g. seismic tomography), plate kinematics (e.g. GPS), composition of geomaterials (e.g. petrography), estimation of physical conditions and dating of key geological events (e.g. thermobarometry), thermal state of the Earth (e.g heat-flow measurements) to more shallow processes such as natural and “engineered” reservoir dynamics and waste sequestration in the subsurface (e.g. seismic imaging). Combining the abundant data to process-based numerical models fosters our understanding of the dynamical Earth. Process-based models are powerful tools to predict the evolution of complex natural systems resolving the feedbacks among various physical processes. Integrating high-quality data into direct numerical simulations leads to a constructive workflow to further constrain the key parameters within the models. Innovative inversion strategies, linking forward dynamic models with observables, are topics triggering a growing interest within the community. The complexity of geological systems arises from their multi-physics nature, as they combine hydrological, thermal, chemical and mechanical. Multi-physics couplings are prone to nonlinear interactions ultimately leading to spontaneous localisation of flow and deformation. Understanding the couplings among those processes requires the development of appropriate tools to capture spontaneous localisation and represents a challenging though essential research direction. We invite contributions from the following two complementary themes: #1 Computational advances associated with - alternative spatial and/or temporal discretisation for existing forward/inverse models - scalable HPC implementations of new and existing methodologies (GPUs / multi-core) - solver and preconditioner developments - AI / Machine learning-based approaches - code and methodology comparisons (“benchmarks”) - open source implementations for the community #2 Physics advances associated with - development of partial differential equations to describe geological processes - inversion strategies and adjoint-based modelling - numerical model validation through comparison with observables (data) - scientific discovery enabled by 2D and 3D modelling - utilisation of coupled models to explore nonlinear interactions -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
