Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to session SM2.1/GD8.7/NH4.8 *"Numerical
modeling of earthquake physics"* at EGU 2019 to discuss on physics,
numerical and computational, data analysis and observational aspects of
earthquake phenomena. We are looking forward to submissions from slow slip
events, fault mechanics and rupture dynamics, to wave propagation and
ground motion analysis, to the seismic cycle and interseismic deformation
- and studies which further the state-of-the art in the related
computational and numerical aspects.

Abstracts are due by 10 January at 13.00 CET. For abstract submission

*Session Description*
Numerical modeling of earthquakes provides new approaches to apprehend the
physics of earthquake rupture and the seismic cycle, seismic wave
propagation, fault zone evolution and seismic hazard assessment.
Recent advances in numerical algorithms and increasing computational power
enable unforeseen precision and multi-physics components in physics-based
earthquake simulation but also pose challenges in terms of fully exploiting
modern supercomputing infrastructure, realistic parameterization of
simulation ingredients and the analysis of large synthetic datasets.
This session aims to bring together modelers and data analysts interested
in the physics and computational aspects of earthquake phenomena. We
welcome studies focusing on all aspects of the physics of various
earthquakes - from slow slip events, fault mechanics and rupture dynamics,
to wave propagation and ground motion analysis, to the seismic cycle and
inter seismic deformation - and studies which further the state-of-the art
in the related computational and numerical aspects.
We further encourage studies linking earthquake source processes to rock
mechanics and the laboratory scale.
