About the Book

Exciting developments in earthquake science have benefited from new observations, improved computational technologies, and improved modeling capabilities. Designing models of the earthquake generation process is a grand scientific challenge due to the complexity of phenomena and range of scales involved from microscopic to global. Such models provide powerful new tools for the study of earthquake precursory phenomena and the earthquake cycle. Through workshops, collaborations and publications, the APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulations (ACES) aims to develop realistic supercomputer simulation models for the complete earthquake generation process, thus providing a "virtual laboratory" to probe earthquake behavior. Part II of the book embraces dynamic rupture and wave propagation, computational environment and algorithms, data assimilation and understanding, and applications of models to earthquakes. This part also contains articles on the computational approaches and challenges of constructing earthquake models.

Table of Contents:
A. Dynamic Rupture and Wave Propagation.- Guided Waves from Sources Outside Faults: An Indication for Shallow Fault Zone Structure?.- On the Effects of Non-planar Geometry for Blind Thrust Faults on Strong Ground Motion.- Which Dynamic Rupture Parameters Can Be Estimated from Strong Ground Motion and Geodetic Data?.- Numerical Simulations of Large Earthquakes: Dynamic Rupture Propagation on Heterogeneous Faults.- Finite-element Simulation of Seismic Ground Motion with a Voxel Mesh.- MHD Dynamo Simulation Using the GeoFEM Platform: Comparison with a Spectral Method.- B.
