COSMOS Ground-Motion Simulation Working Group workshops #1 and #2

December 1, 2022

These 2 workshops were held in response to interest generated from sessions on the use of simulated earthquake ground motions at the 2020 and 2021 Consortium of Organizations for Strong Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) Technical Sessions. The discussions at the Technical Sessions highlighted desires to promote the use of simulated earthquake ground motions for engineering applications and the need to coordinate efforts to validate and disseminate the data. Our first workshop focused on curating and disseminating simulated earthquake ground-motion data. Our second workshop focused on validating simulated ground-motions for engineering applications. Both workshops included a few invited presentations from providers (ground-motion simulators) and engineering user perspectives followed by open discussions. About 100 people participated in each of the workshops.
