|---|
| Brad Aagaard | baagaard at usgs.gov | yes | yes | | yes | 1st day of tinker time: Beginner level tutorials 2nd day of tinker time: Intermediate/Advanced level tutorials (e.g., people wanting to extend PyLith) | We may want to consider inviting people from the eq source physics community but I don't think we want to increase the size of the workshop. | | 2006-06-30 | 13:33:14 |
| David V. Wiltschko | d.wiltschko at tamu.edu | yes | yes | Jackson, WY, wonderful but $$$. Several decent venues but not as large as Mines. Good air service. | yes | The science/practical balance was just about right. More worked tutorials would be useful. This will improve in the future because more of the benchmarks will be worked by more groups. Providing binaries for all of the peripheral software (meshers, viewers and maybe some of the analytical solution wrappers {e.g. Okada}) would have saved a huge amount of compile time. Some people couldn't proceed through the tutorials because of these issues. I counted only 4 platforms at the meeting and it would be straightforward to collect binaries ahead of time, although some of them have runtime dependencies (I'll volunteer one of my students, if it comes to that). | Catered lunches if we stay in Golden, paid for each morning when ordering. Tell the venue we need sufficient power outlets from the first day. | The discussion at the meeting was thorough. My vote is to place highest priority on flexible, user defined constitutive relations and the ability to handle large strains. | 2006-06-30 | 13:43:45 |
| Jay Parker | Jay.W.Parker at jpl.nasa.gov | yes | yes | Yosemite | yes | Half-day on effective inversion/optimization techniques; methods used in related fields such as crack propagation, materials fatigue | Extend tour time to half-day? Have Golden USGS treat us to a field trip? Encourage all to drink water: supply bottles or catered water in the meeting room. | Pursue inverse methods for slip and also for material properties. Support methods for damage material and nonlinear elasticity. Provide links to GIS tools so we can overlay results on maps with other map-objects. | 2006-06-30 | 15:38:14 |
| Louise Kellogg | kellogg at geology.ucdavis.edu | yes | yes | | yes | The tinker time was very useful; it might be helpful to have a more formal tutorial for some of the more complex software, though this open format seemed to work very well for this group. Although there were significantly fewer people at the tinker time on Friday, those who were there were working hard and getting a lot done. It is worth building in sufficient time (as this workshop did) for those interested in the software to get it installed etc. | It was well-run and the organizers are to be commended for including flexibility for discussion on a variety of topics. Ariel provided excellent support. | Although Pylith seems to be the main direction that the group is moving, I would not want to leave other methods behind (i.e. GeoFest). Supporting multiple codes allows those who want to address different problems to make progress, and also provides the means for benchmarks and code validation. | 2006-07-03 | 11:15:22 |
| Jamie Farrell | farrell at earth.utah.edu | yes | no | San Diego | no | A lot more tutorials! Also, the tutorial sessions should be alot more organized. It seemed like the people teaching the tutorials planned there talks about an hour before the meeting. Don't get me wrong, they did a great job, but I just thought it would have been alot better if they had a better plan. | | | 2006-07-03 | 13:30:32 |
| Eric Andreas Hetland | eah at gps.caltech.edu | yes | no | Boulder, CO; Santa Fe, NM; Boston, MA; Lake Tahoe, CA; | yes | The "tinker time" should be slightly more structured, so that more than a few people feel they should attend, maybe break up the first day with one, or maybe two, topical, general presentations, and the last day with a "where do we go from here" discussion. Might also be useful to include a presentation or two, surveying data availability, and using data to constrain model parameters. It would have also been nice to move up one or two of the discussions on Thursday, that put the meeting into a "political" context. Having some motivations for "why build a community?" would have been good to have at the beginning, as well as to establish that the purpose of a good part of the meeting was for discussion... | Ariel did a great job. It would have been nice to get a prelim agenda out a bit sooner (I realize at some point this is an impossible task). It would also be nice to get a bit more input from attendees into group discussions (some of the discussions seemed to be treated as stand-alone presentations by most of the audience) - another impossible task. And one last impossible task, I liked the mix of science and technical aspects this year; however, the science part felt that alot of people were treating it as yet another AGU, I am not sure how this can change... And the other, very possible, comment, make the other hotel the primary hotel if we meet in golden again. The Table Mountain Inn is almost all single rooms... | | 2006-07-05 | 16:52:54 |
| Chris Fuller | fullercw at u.washington.edu | yes | yes | | yes | The content was a good balance of current research topics and computational/numerical issues associated with those topics. As Pylith becomes more widely used, it would be nice to see a focus on application of this code to relevant problems for the group. Also, assuming version 1.0 is released before the next meeting, it would be beneficial to have some sessions on the actual structure of the code so that it will be easier for some of us to add our own modules/rheologies to the code. | A quicker release of a preliminary schedule would be nice. I imagine that most people will not need to be at two tinker sessions, and knowing when these will occur could help with travel planning. | Nope. | 2006-07-05 | 20:06:42 |
| Christopher DiCaprio | dicaprio at gps.caltech.edu | yes | yes | | yes | Perhaps more involved tutorials on how to construct a model (create input files, etc.) run the model, and then view the results. For pylith the tutorial was really limited to just running benchmark 5. I realize that this may be a lot of unwanted work for the developers or expert users, but it could be very helpful. | Science discussions were very good. As more people use the tools that are introduced at the workshop it would be great to have see what science has been done with them. | | 2006-07-07 | 15:04:11 |
| Wu-Lung Chang | wchang at earth.utah.edu | yes | yes | | yes | Great workshop! I have learned a lot from both the tinker time and presentations. | | Maybe include volcanic-related benchmark problems in the future. | 2006-07-10 | 11:21:24 |
| Tim Masterlark | masterlark at geo.ua.edu | yes | yes | Atlanta or Minneapolis | yes | Overall, it was a good blend. Personally, I would prefer to see more case studies and specific applications. Limitations and requirements would be more focused with this approach. | The workshop was well organized. I thank the organizing committee for inviting me. I enjoyed sharing my work with the audience and I will benefit greatly from the feedback. | I am an ABAQUS user, so all of my requirements are currently met. Therefore, I'm not an appropriate person to address this issue. | 2006-07-10 | 11:41:28 |
| Youqing (Richard) Yang | yangyo at missouri.edu | yes | no | Denver,CO; St. Paul, MN; Chicago, IL; St. Luis, MO | yes | demonstrate the function of some package through examples | | add a couple of case studies | 2006-07-10 | 11:51:48 |
| Greg Lyzenga | lyzenga at hmc.edu | yes | yes | | yes | | The scientific content of this workshop seemed especially interesting, but didn't overwhelm the practical "non-AGU" character of the meeting. Time will tell if it was more successful than previous ones in motivating collaboration and work after the workshop, but I am guardedly optimistic. | | 2006-07-10 | 11:53:35 |
| Andy Freed | freed at purdue.edu | yes | yes | | yes | The format of mixing science, software, and tutorials was excellent. The discussion of earthquake cycle analysis approaches and problems was particularly great. I would really like to have a users session on cubit, I think this is a code I will use and would like to have a practice session with an expert. | I think we may want to narrow the lectures on tools and techniques to those that are going to be used by a significant number of attendees. There were a couple of talks Wednesday afternoon that were a bit tedious as the covered tools that didn't really seem to interest anyone (like GAMUT and adaptive mesh refinement). Anyway, the more we can narrow the number of tools that the community will use, the more we can concentrate on meaningful discussions of those tools. | I think they are perfect. I am extremely happy in the work being done with Pylith and the capabilities it will have. I am looking forward to switching to this code after its release next year. | 2006-07-10 | 12:37:51 |
| Charles D. Norton | Charles.D.Norton at jpl.nasa.gov | yes | no | CA (Pasadena, National Academies Center at UC Irvine, Newport Beach, ...) | yes | A CUBIT tutorial would be nice. | Very well organized and planned - good variety of topics. | | 2006-07-10 | 13:35:19 |
| sylvain barbot | sbarbot at ucsd.edu | yes | no | New York | yes | | | | 2006-07-10 | 14:47:45 |
| Yi Liu | yil at caltech.edu | yes | yes | | yes | | | | 2006-07-10 | 16:51:42 |
| Wenzheng Yang | wenzheny at usc.edu | yes | yes | | no | The organization of this workshop is very good. The agenda is fully realized. Compared with last year, it is a great leap. The softwares are easy to be installed. The tutorial material are very helpful and useful. The Posters section is very good. I talked with other young researchers, and get a clear view of the application of what I learn in this workshop. It seems this workshop does not need to last 5 days, because at the last two days, the discuss is mainly among committee members. Those graduate students like me just sit there. | All in all, it is a very good workshop. As a graduate student, I do have some wishes: (1) Keep it small, short and strong. (2) invite famous professors to give fundamental lectures. Not in hash, or just prepare the presentation one day before the meeting. (3) Not only discuss the benchmark, but more general scientific topics related with this workshop. | | 2006-07-10 | 18:18:53 |
| Charles Williams | willic3 at rpi.edu | yes | yes | | yes | Possible topics: Volcano modeling. "Spinning up" time-dependent models. What boundary conditions are appropriate for driving fault movement on multiple-cycle time scales. | I liked the mix of science and technical discussions for this workshop, and I thought the location was great. | | 2006-07-11 | 08:53:42 |
| Matthew Knepley | knepley at mcs.anl.gov | yes | yes | | yes | I liked the choices this time. There might be a talk or two on the numerics which are forming a greater part of the work today. Too often, these talks focus completely on the computer science or even become tutorials, but serious numerical issues still exist. | Way to work around the Cup! | | 2006-07-11 | 09:44:52 |
| Qingsong Li | li at lpi.usra.edu | yes | yes | | yes | | | | 2006-07-11 | 11:59:14 |
| Carl Gable | gable at lanl.gov | yes | yes | | yes | NO | NO | NO | 2006-07-11 | 14:07:43 |
| Oliver Boyd | olboyd at usgs.gov | yes | yes | | yes | I would like to be more productive and have more tinker time | It seems there was a fair amount of wasted food during the presentation part of the meeting. It would also be good to have more interaction among the participants during the meeting. | | 2006-07-12 | 08:03:11 |
| Henry L. Turner | hturner at uark.edu | yes | yes | | yes | | | | 2006-07-13 | 11:15:05 |
| David V. Wiltschko | d.wiltschko at tamu.edu | yes | yes | Jackson, WY, wonderful but $$$. Several decent venues but not as large as Mines. Good air service. | yes | It might be good to have (optional) tutorial sessions, probably as part of the tinker time, where the main users/developers run through one of the benchmark models in some detail. We had this with LaGrit on the first day, unscripted, and it is worth continuing for all packages. | Content: good balance of tutorial and science, though see above. Logistics: Venue was very good. There was low-level grumbling about food. One way to solve this is to take orders in the morning and have lunches brought in. This would involve a bit more bookkeeping, but would provide a greater variety. | No, we discussed this thoroughly. I would add more emphasis on large inelastic deformation, but this seems to be the focus of other groups. | 2006-07-14 | 09:10:59 |
| Mark Turner | mturner at gps.caltech.edu | yes | yes | | yes | I think having a more structured tutorial (as part of the pre/post tinker time
sessions?) might be helpful for those of us new to this kind of modeling. | | | 2006-07-19 | 18:30:42 |
|
Andreas Plesch | plesch at fas.harvard.edu | yes | yes | close to an airport | yes | With some preparation, tinker time could be also used to work together on an actual problem, be it code issues or a certain model. | could be condensed. | | 2006-07-26 | 11:01:55 |
| Yoshihiro Kaneko | ykaneko at gps.caltech.edu | yes | no | Other place would be nice. | yes | I thought the tutorials went well. I attended this workshop for the first time, but I learned many things: available softwares, community future goals, some difficulties in earthquake modeling, etc. I wish more people there had spoken up during the discussion times since opinions were exchanged only among several people. Also, I think it would be better to invite more people working on computational earthquake modeling. | | | 2006-07-26 | 12:02:53 |
| Teng-fong Wong | Teng-fong.wong at stonybrook.edu | yes | yes | | yes | | | | 2006-07-26 | 13:10:23 |
| Rowena Lohman | rolohman at gmail.com | yes | yes | | yes | | | | 2006-07-26 | 13:49:25 |
| Heidi Houston | heidi at quake.ess.ucla.edu | yes | yes | | yes | From my point of view it would be good to have more scientific talks. As for the tutorial ones, they should be really well-organized (and some were). | | | 2006-07-26 | 15:56:52 |
| Zheqiang Shi | zheqians at usc.edu | yes | yes | | yes | I am quite satisfied with the content covered in this year's workshop. | | | 2006-07-31 | 13:28:53 |
| Gilda Currenti | currenti at ct.ingv.it | yes | no | | yes | | | | 2006-07-31 | 23:52:49 |
| Jiangning Lu | JOHNNYLU at MIT.EDU | yes | no | | yes | | | | 2006-08-02 | 10:36:06 |
