A Message from the Planning Committee
“One overarching goal is to develop best practices–and perhaps also software tools–for developing, sharing, archiving, and using such sources more generally, which we hope will also be of use beyond the Cascadia region. Eventually, we may also tackle sets of crustal fault tsunami sources. We welcome your feedback and suggestions on what you would like to see this SIG focus on for future webinars and workshops.”
Available Sessions
See below for more information on the following sessions
Using the Cascadia CoPes Hub Sources: Webinar
Friday, September 4, 9:00 – 10:00 A.M. PDT
We will host a webinar to discuss the Cascadia CoPes Hub megathrust earthquake sources, how they relate to other sets of Cascadia sources, and how they might be used in the context of tsunami hazard assessment. This webinar is open to anyone interested in learning about these sources and welcomes attendance from the broader scientific community. We will also briefly present a modeling test problem that we are developing, specifically for modelers who want to download the sources and try them out in conjunction with their preferred tsunami modeling software. The goal is to help modelers use these sources, and to gather feedback on how we could make the source-to-modeling process easier.
Using the Cascadia CoPes Hub Sources: Office Hour
Friday, September 11, 9:00 – 10:00 A.M. PDT
We will host an open office hour for any questions related to the use of these sources.
Using the Cascadia CoPes Hub Sources: Workshop
Thursday, September 18, 9:00 to 12:00 P.M. PDT
We will work through the problem and results as a group, with opportunities to provide feedback and to make suggestions on how these (or other sources) can be best made available to the community
