RUI: Modeling the Earthquake Dynamics of Complex Thrust Fault Systems, with Application to — NSF Award to The University Corporati
One of the central questions of earthquake hazard assessment is, "how big an earthquake can this fault system produce?" The answer often depends on how many of the system's fault segments can break together in a single earthquake.

| Abstract | One of the central questions of earthquake hazard assessment is, "how big an earthquake can this fault system produce?" The answer often depends on how many of the system's fault segments can break together in a single earthquake. If fault segments are close together and oriented in a certain way, a rupture on one segment can hop to another and keep going, leading to a much larger quake than the individual fault segment could produce. There is a large body of previous work using computer simulat |
