2004 ACES International Workshop: Understanding Earthquake Physics

亚太经合组织地震模拟合作组织（ACES）是一个自1999年2月以来一直在开会和合作的科学家国际合作组织，代表了一种非常有前途的新的计算科学和信息技术（CSIT）方法来理解地震物理学和动力学问题。2004年5月的这次讲习班由美国航天局联合主办，目的是审查与地震模拟有关的几个关键科学和技术领域的最新进展，并为今后的进展制定联合计划。通过ACES的工作促进了对地震过程的理解。 从微观到全球的尺度，从毫秒到千年的时间尺度被认为是。 ACES的一个目标是将这些尺度整合到综合模型中，以提高对地震如何发生以及断层如何相互连接的理解。 这项工作是通过应用计算技术来进行的，以提高建模和解释能力。ACES的活动和会议涉及所有参与国的学生和学术界。这项工作涉及研究和指导学生，以及他们在工作组，研讨会和会议的参与。许多成果还通过新闻稿和新闻报道向广大公众传达。

The APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation (ACES), an international collaboration of scientists that has been meeting and working together since February 1999, represents a highly promising, new, Computational Science and Information Technology (CSIT) approach to the problem of understanding earthquake physics and dynamics. The purpose of this May 2004 workshop, with joint agency sponsorship by NASA is to review recent progress in several key areas of science and technology related to earthquake simulations, and to formulate joint plans for future progress. Work through ACES promotes understanding of earthquake processes. Scales ranging from microscopic to global, and timescales ranging from milliseconds to millennia are considered. One goal of ACES is to integrate these scales into comprehensive models that will improve understanding of how earthquakes occur and how faults are interconnected. The work is carried out through the application of computational technologies to improve modeling and interpretation capabilities. ACES activities and meetings involve students and academia from all of the participating countries. The work involves research and mentoring of students, as well as their participation in the working groups, workshops, and meetings. Many of the results are also communicated to the broader public through press releases and news stories.
