Southern California Earthquake Center Notes on 2016 potential action items • Develop standard formats for the various input • Provide kinematic models for exploring pipeline to GMs and to evaluate slip speed issue. • Develop suite of test cases for evaluating parameter sensitivities. Jacqui ran a lot of those, but do that for various cases/fault geometries. Formalize test cases and develop tools to compute statistics on differences. • Comparisons between RS off-fault and UCERF 3 -ETAS. Could be done for a few cases taken from the RS catalog. Also could compare similar ruptures in RS and see how similar or different they are. • Produce 50 catalogs after issues with MRIs fixed (representation of epistemic uncertainty). • Define computational needs (Jim and Keith) so that SCEC can provide the best resources (cluster, Blue. Waters, etc. ). • Going from discrete distributions to OEF. One option could be to develop efficient code for annealing from catalog. Explore other options?
