Workshop Numerical Modeling of Earthquake Motions: Waves and Ruptures June 30 - July 4, 2019 Smolenice Castle near Bratislava, Slovakia |
The aim of the workshop is to share recent advances in the numerical modeling and understanding of earthquake rupture, earthquake ground motion, and ambient seismic noise. Better understanding of physics of these phenomena based on available seismic data and efficient numerical modelling should eventually help to progress in predicting earthquake ground motion.
Topics and aspects
Main topics Earthquake source dynamics Earthquake ground motion Main aspects Numerical methods for rupture propagation Numerical methods for seismic wave propagation in complex media in relation to earthquake motion and seismic noise Analysis of earthquake source dynamics Analysis of earthquake ground motion Methods for predicting earthquake ground motionCo-chairmen |

Workshop Venue
The venue is the Smolenice Castle near Bratislava, Slovakia (50 km from downtown Bratislava, i.e., approximately 1 hour drive). The Castle, owned by the Slovak Academy of Sciences, was converted into a unique conference center. Because of its very nice setting, picturesque architecture, history-evoking interior and pleasant atmosphere, the Castle is a very popular conference venue. Useful links

Transportation
Participants may conveniently use the Bratislava Airport or Vienna International Airport (Austria), which is located only 46 km from Bratislava. There is at least one bus connection each half an hour from the Vienna airport to the Bratislava. The bus stop at the airport is located directly in front of the arrival hall. Alternatively, participants may arrive in Wien Hauptbahnhof and use one of many train connections to Bratislava. More information about how to reach Bratislava. We will organize transportation from Bratislava to the Smolenice Castle. The bus pick-up places will be specified later. Participants preferring individual transportation to the Smolenice Castle will be provided with detailed information on how to reach the Castle .

| Single | 70 EUR | |
| 2-bed | 48 EUR | |
| 3-bed | 35 EUR | |
| 4-bed | 25 EUR |
Due to the limited capacity of the Castle, 80 participants, and due to the configuration of the rooms (single, 2-bed, 3-bed, 4-bed), some participants may be required to share rooms. The type of room is a subject of confirmation by LOC. In case of exceeding accommodation capacity of the Smolenice Castle, there is an additional accommodation near the Castle.
