[CIG-GEODYN] AGU Sessions: Multiscale Dynamics of Earthquake Faulting and Dynamo Systems

[Lorraine Hwang]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention the following AGU sessions organized by CIG Scientists:


MULTISCALE DYNAMICS OF EARTHQUAKE FAULTING
Session ID#: 3361
Session Description:

Earthquake faulting involves physical processes operating over length scales which range from millimeter wide primary slip zones on the time scale of milliseconds to seconds during rupture, to the evolution of fault systems spanning hundreds of kilometers over thousands of years. Capturing the interaction among processes across this broad range of spatial and temporal scales necessitates multiscale approaches to numerical modeling, observations, and laboratory experiments. We invite submissions covering topics in this area, including earthquake initiation and triggering, rupture across multiple fault segments, effects of fault-surface roughness on source dynamics and near-field radiation, influence of bulk and fault rheologies on post-seismic deformation and slip localization, and evolution of fault zones and fault systems. Observational and laboratory studies that address multi-scale earthquake dynamics, computational efficiency, validation of modeling approaches, and leveraging of state-of-the-art open-source tools are all topics of particular interest.

GEOPHYSICAL AND ASTROPHYSICAL DYNAMO SYSTEMS: ADVANCES IN MODELING AND METHODS
Session ID#: 2955
Session Description:

Present day dynamo models have demonstrated the basic processes underlying dynamo action.  However, with typical numerical models running on roughly 10 to 100 cores, little can be said of the turbulent dynamo generation that occurs in stellar and planetary interiors.  In this session, we solicit contributions that consider advanced theoretical treatments of dynamo region flows; high performance numerical strategies and state-of-the-art simulations; laboratory simulations of dynamo physics; and novel treatments of geophysical and astrophysical data sets.
