NSF-Sponsored Short Course: Finite Element Models for Simulating Earthquake Deformation
Wauthier, Christelle
Intended for graduate students at U.S. academic institutions who are interested in using Finite Element Models (FEMs) to interpret earthquake deformation. The course will include four modules: Modeling Protocol, Forward Modeling, Parameter Estimates, and Target Applications. Dr. Christelle Wauthier, Associate Professor from Penn State University and NSF CAREER Award recipient, will deliver a keynote address during an evening seminar, which will be followed by a dinner to facilitate fellowship for aspiring modelers.
