*Fall AGU GEM special session description

T-l General Earthquake Models (Joint with S, G; NG)

General Earthquake Models (GEM) represent an emerging new field of geophysical research focused on the behavior of fault systems. It is enabled by the fusion of new ideas about the physics of earthquakes and complex high-dimensional, multi-scale nonlinear systems; modern computational hardware, software and algorithms; evolving information technology, and digital communications infrastructure; and the rapidly growing quantity and quality of new data types, originating from GPS and broadband seismic networks, as well as Interferometric SAR. For this session, papers are solicited that examine problems and scientific questions related to understanding earthquakes through the synthesis of models, computation, and data. We anticipate papers that address theory, results and algorithms for computational models of the earthquake source, both on isolated faults and fault systems; computational methods based upon new paradigms of web object systems and fast computational algorithms; and model calibration and validation issues that can be resolved through the innovative use of modern geophysical data.
