Earthquakes: simulations, sources and tsunamis : Fifth ACES International Workshop, Maui, 2006

In the 1990s, major advancements in seismic research greatly added to the understanding of earthquake fault systems as complex dynamical systems as large quantities of new and extensive remote sensing data sets provided information on the solid earth on scales previously inaccessible were integrated with a combination of innovative analysis techniques and advanced numerical and computational methods implemented on high-performance computers. Many of the resultingadvances and discoveries are included in or resulting from APEC (Asia PacificEconomic Cooperation) Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation (ACES) related research and activities. The ultimate goal of ACES is to develop a unified simulation model for earthquake cycles in different tectonic settings.
