Date: 21 - 24 January 2025 with daily sessions from 09:00-12:00 Pacific Time (UTC-8)

The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC), in collaboration with the University of California San Diego, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, San Diego Supercomputer Center, and other research institutions, invites you to participate in the “Quakeworx Kickoff: Advancing Earthquake Science and Cybertraining in Seismology” from January 21-24, 2025. This virtual workshop and training session will introduce key research computing practices and provide access to leading-edge seismological research applications. Workshop participants will use the NSF-supported Quakeworx science gateway to run applications for simulating wave propagation and dynamic ruptures, aftershock forecasting, and evaluating earthquake forecasts.

The workshop will be fully virtual from January 21-24, 2025, with daily sessions from 09:00-12:00 Pacific Time (UTC-8). The schedule includes four half-day sessions:

• Day 1 (Jan 21): Open Science and Research Computing for Seismology
• Day 2 (Jan 22): Introduction to Research Computing via the Quakeworx Science Gateway
• Day 3 (Jan 23): Earth Science Applications (Part 1) - SeisSol and Tandem 
• Day 4 (Jan 24): Earth Science Applications (Part 2) - Moose-FARMS, UCERF3-ETAS, and pyCSEP

Registration link: Please register until Friday, 3 January 2025 at https://events.hifis.net/event/1959/
