| Session Description | We now have various information on the kinematics and dynamics of earthquakes including slip evolution during recent large earthquakes, frictional properties during faulting, fault system geometry and the structure of fault zones. This information provides the fundamental knowledge base with which to build an "earthquake machine" capable of simulating the earthquake generation process and cycles of earthquake activity. In this session, we welcome papers on earthquake simulation models as well as investigations on earthquake source physics aiming to provide insight on the kinematics and dynamics of earthquake generation and cycles. |
