  1. Southern California Earthquake Center 2014 Grand Challenge Symposium UseITUndergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information Technology

  2. The Grand Challenge • Use SCEC-VDO to visualize earthquake scenarios, in particular Loma Prietatype aftershock sequences, in honor of the 25th anniversary the 1989 M6.9 earthquake.

  3. Loma Prieta M6.9 Background • This was one of more than 20 relevant earthquake forecasts made in the 83 years before the earthquake. • Loma Prieta provided the first test of ATC-20, the post-earthquake review process that places red, yellow, or green placards on shaken buildings. Its successful application has led to widespread use in other disasters including the September 11, 2001, New York City terrorist incident.

  4. The Grand Challenge Process 1. Rupture Selection Process 2. Visualizing the Risk- ShakeMaps and HAZUS 3. Improving SCEC-VDO 4. Creating Visualizations 5. Conclusions

  5. UCERF3Uniform California earthquake rupture forecast 3 Four main model components: Fault models Deformation models Earthquake rate models Probability models

  6. Hazard Curve – OpenSHA • By Location

  7. List Generation

  8. Final Rupture ID’s: Loma Prieta “Like”

  9. USGS List

  10. SCEC-VDO & UCERF3 • Obtained rupture ID’s

  11. Super Computer Generated Simulations

  12. List Generation 23 x 500 = 11,500 Simulations!

  13. Final Simulations Simulation for rupture ID 64481 North San Andreas Fault M7.2 Substantial Typical Minor Minor

  14. Probabilistic Interpretation Analysis Team Gutenberg-Richter relation

  15. Data & Statistical Analysis Analysis Team This graph shows that scenarios with higher number of aftershocks have a greater probability of having a magnitude larger than the main event. Main Magnitude M7.2

  16. ShakeMaps Visualization

  17. Implementing ShakeMaps into HAZUSAnalysis Team • In addition to census data, HAZUS requires the user to supply a ShakeMapin a file format that it can interpret. • HAZUS uses census data to help determine economic losses as well as injuries and fatalities for a given area.

  18. HAZUS and GIS • Once specific parameters are set, HAZUS is able to generate loss estimates based on economic investments, injuries, and fatalities. • Using the raw data generated from HAZUS, the user can then map this data via GIS.

  19. SCEC-VDO Development What is SCEC-VDO? • Southern California Earthquake Center-Virtual Display of Objects • A software application that allows the exploration of faults, earthquakes, and other geological events in a 3-dimensional environment

  20. SCEC-VDO Development

  21. SCEC-VDO Development How does it work? • SCEC-VDO is built using Java • Java3D, a separate library for 3D visualization • It is program that has numerous plugins that allow the user to display different geological features on a map

  22. SCEC-VDO Development How does it help the scientific community? • SCEC-VDO is widely used by geologists and seismologists to develop new models • UCERF3 • Visual representation of a complex natural phenomena • Geometry of fault ruptures • Connections • Topography • Video-making Capability

  23. HAZUS Plugin in SCEC-VDO Development

  24. HAZUS Plugin in SCEC-VDO Development • Updates • Events class was hard-coded and required over 5000 lines of code • Now has under 800 lines of code and new HAZUS info can be added easily • New color scheme • Legend Updates • Importing Process • Information needed is put into XML file • New tab is added if necessary

  25. Loma Prieta Near You Videos Visualization • The team created videos for each of the 23 rupture scenarios. • Each video contains three-dimensional viewing of the rupture plane. • ShakeMaps and HAZUS were integrated into each visualization.

  26. Scripting Plugin Development • Why is it important to have video production capabilities in SCEC-VDO? • What are itsshortcomings?

  27. Timeline Scripting Plugin Development

  28. Aftershock Scenario Sorting Development • Eliminating Spontaneous Eventsand related aftershocks • Filtering events by various attributes

  29. Aftershock Visualizations Visualization Team The team created videos that spatially demonstrated three different types of aftershock scenarios for each rupture. • Typical Scenarios- contained an average amount of aftershocks based on the five hundred simulations provided. • Minor Scenarios- contained less than the average number of aftershocks. • Substantial Scenarios- contained more than the average number of aftershocks.
