Session Time: 8:00 AM to 9:15 AM (local time)

Advances in numerical methods and continued evolution of computer hardware and high-performance computing infrastructures have made it now routine to simulate full 3D seismic wave propagation at local, regional and global scales. This capability and the growing efficiency in accomplishing it result in a broad range of applications, from ground motion simulation and scenario earthquakes incorporating 3D models, physics-based fault rupture dynamics simulations, to simulation-based seismic imaging methods such as full-waveform inversion. By taking advantage of ever-growing seismic observations, these applications have considerably expanded our understanding of seismic hazard, earthquake physics and regional and global tectonics. This session invites any seismic contributions that leverage the capabilities of full-wave simulations, including applications related to earthquake ground motion modelling, kinematic and dynamic rupture simulations, ambient noise and seismic imaging at all scales as well as other novel applications.
