BB Seismic waves Hifi Seismic waves Different scales in earthquake dynamics Macroscale Mesoscale Microscale Steady state mechanics vrvr (< 0.3 Hz  5 km) (>0.5 Hz  <2 km) (non-radiative) ( ~ 100 m) This hierarchy of problems was proposed by Kostrov’s

4. www.spice-rtn.org Mid-Term Review Meeting, February 13-14, Tutzing Challenges in macroscale Kinematics : Are inversions realistic? -> Don’t ask! Are they stable? -> Blind Test Dynamics : How do we set up kinematic inversions that are compatible with dynamics ? Both : How to extend the inversions beyond 0.3 Hz, so that they are useful in engineering ? How to interface with GPS, interferometry and geology?

10. www.spice-rtn.org Mid-Term Review Meeting, February 13-14, Tutzing Outlook for Next 2 years Earthquake seismology progresses as earthquake recording and data availability improves Kinematics: Improvement of wave propagation, methodology and structure (Bonnefoy, Oprsal, Tapia) Kinematics inversion: Compare linear and non- linear techniques. (Holden, Festa) Dynamic inversion: Do it! Let it become the norm rather than the exception. (DiCarli, Burjanek) Mesocale : Understand the generation of high frequencies and EQ energy balance Microscale: See Pablo Ampuero’s presentation
