Earthquakes are highly non-linear and multiscale processes fracturing the Earth’s crust, while large and small events can have socio-economically destructive consequences. Using a physics-based description of earthquakes, high-performance computing and modern numerical methods sheds light on the dynamics, and severity of earthquake behaviour and enables an unparalleled degree of realism in forward modeling.
