Video: Supercomputing Dynamic Earthquake Ruptures

Researchers are using XSEDE supercomputers to model multi-fault earthquakes in the Brawley fault zone, which links the San Andreas and Imperial faults in Southern California. Their work could predict the behavior of earthquakes that could potentially affect millions of people's lives and property. "Basically, we generate a virtual world where we create different types of earthquakes. That helps us understand how earthquakes in the real world are happening."
