This series of workshops focuses on developing international guidelines and standards for (1) archiving and disseminating and (2) validating simulated earthquake ground-motion data. These workshops are open to anyone interested in these topics.

Workshop #1 will be a mixture of presentations and directed discussions to:

1. Summarize examples of simulated ground-motion data sets;

2. Assess the needs of users of simulated ground-motion data in terms of mechanisms for searching and accessing data and what metadata is needed to describe the simulated data;

3. Assess what existing strong-motion data center standards and tools might be useful for simulated ground-motion data; and

4. Outline steps for developing international guidelines and standards for archiving and disseminating simulated ground-motion data.

The first day will be dedicated to items 1 and 2 and the second day dedicated to items 3 and 4. We plan to hold a second workshop in September 2022 that will focus on developing international guidelines for validating simulated ground-motion data.

Registration is now closed.

User Survey

We are collecting information about user needs related to accessing simulated ground-motion data. Even if you are unable to participate in the workshop, we strongly encourage you to respond to the survey. The survey should only take a few minutes to complete.
