Draft Workshop Agenda

Agenda for June 14-18 Workshop on Numerical Modeling of Crustal Deformation and Earthquake Faulting.

Please send suggested revisions to Brad Aagaard.

Location: Student Center Ballrooms A and B (2nd floor)

Monday - Beginner Tutorials

These tutorials are designed for users that have little or no experience with finite-element modeling tools, but have been introduced to the techniques of finite-element analysis. These tutorials will introduce users to state-of-the-art tools for finite-element modeling of crustal deformation.
