Announcement of The 4th ACES Workshop
July
9-14, 2004, Beijing, China
We'd like to call your attention to the 4th International ACES Workshop to be held in Beijing, on July 9-14, 2004. The main themes of the Workshop are:
Physical Modeling,
Numerical Simulation, Data Assimilation, Computational
Algorithms, Model Application and Simulation Based
Prediction
and Information Technology for Understanding Earthquake Physics and
Crust-Mantle Dynamics.
The APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation (ACES) is a multi-lateral grand challenge research cooperation of APEC. The ACES program is fundamentally a coordinated international effort linking complementary nationally based programs, centers and research teams. The goals of ACES are:
to develop realistic numerical simulation models for understanding the physics and dynamics of the complete earthquake generation process and to assimilate new observations into such models,
to foster collaboration between the relevant complementary programs of participating APEC member economies, and
to foster
development of the required research infrastructure and research
programs.
The Workshop will consist of seven plenary scientific sessions and a colloquium:
Session 1:
Microscopic simulation
Session 2: Scaling physics
Session 3:
Macro-scale simulation: Earthquake generation and cycles
Session
4: Macro-scale simulation: Dynamic rupture and wave
propagation
Session 5: Computational environment and
algorithms
Session 6: Data assimilation and understanding
Session
7: Model applications
Colloquium: iSERVO (International Solid
Earth Research Virtual Observatory)
Every participant is encouraged to submit an extended abstract for oral or poster presentation. Full peer-reviewed papers will be published in PAGEOPH (probably) as a special volume after the Workshop.
A pre-registration
form will be available in March 2004 at
