From Google: Caption text is powered by machine learning. It depends on audio input from the speaker, including the speaker’s accent, voice modulation, and intonation. As language understanding models use billions of common phrases and sentences to automatically transcribe spoken words, they can also reflect human cognitive biases. As a result, captions might not be a complete and accurate transcription of the speaker’s words. Google is committed to making products that work well for everyone, and we’re actively researching unintended bias, mitigation strategies, and ways to improve quality.

08:00 - 10:00 | Session 3: New Directions for the Statewide Center, Horizon Ballroom This session will explore science opportunities enabled by the increased geographic scope of the Statewide Center. Presentations will feature four different areas within the transform plate boundary beyond southern California, including: the Walker Lane and Eastern California Shear Zone (Steve Wesnousky, UNR), the Mendocino Triple Junction (Kathryn Materna, UC Boulder), California's Creeping Faults (Josie Nevitt, USGS), and uplift along the larger San Andreas Fault System (George Hilley, Stanford). These talks will introduce topics for subsequent moderated discussions on new science opportunities.
Moderators: Kim Blisniuk (SJSU) and Annemarie Baltay (USGS)

14:00 - 16:00 | Session 4: Towards Resilience, Horizon Ballroom This session will feature ways in which SCEC science can impact earthquake resilience through communication, education, and outreach, and by interfacing with earthquake engineers. These efforts form a necessary link in translating SCEC science achievements into useful information for reducing vulnerability to earthquakes. Ayse Hortacsu (ATC) and Wendy Bohon (CGS) will present talks to inspire broader community efforts in California. Moderators: Jon Stewart (UCLA) and Heidi Tremayne (EERI) |

07:00 - 08:00 | Continental Breakfast, Hilton Poolside |
08:00 - 10:00 | Session 5: What's Next in Earthquakes and AI? Horizon Ballroom The methods of artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, are having a profound impact on earthquake science. This began with seismology, but has since broadened to other disciplines. This session will feature talks from Zhiang Chen (Caltech) and Brittany Erickson (Oregon) on some of the latest developments that will serve as the starting point for a community discussion of future opportunities for AI in earthquake science.
Moderators: Allen Husker (Caltech) and Daniel Trugman (UNR) |

12:00 - 13:30 | Group Lunch, Hilton Poolside, Terrace Restaurant, Tapestry Room |
14:00 - 16:00 | Session 6: Earthquake Dynamics Across Scales, Horizon Ballroom Earthquakes involve processes that span many orders of magnitude in spatial scale, ranging from the grain scale to the plate boundary scale, which demands an interdisciplinary approach to understanding their behavior. In this session, talks by Heather Savage (UCSC) and Folarin Kolawole (Columbia) will prompt us to consider aspects of earthquake dynamics as informed by geologic indicators, and seed discussions on research directions that aim to bridge scales in earthquake science.
Moderators: Ahmed Elbanna (UIUC) and Roby Douilly (UCR) |

08:00 - 10:00 | Session 7: Time-Dependent Response, Horizon Ballroom A growing body of work is illuminating ways in which time-varying Earth properties can inform processes related to earthquakes. Marine Denolle (UW) and Stacy Larochelle (Columbia) will give talks in this session to highlight recent advances in this area and how they might be used to motivate future research across the plate boundary system. Moderators: Andrew Delorey (LANL) and Roland Burgmann (UCB) |
10:30 - 11:45 | Session 8: SCEC Collaboration Planning, Horizon Ballroom Each year, SCEC solicits proposals for research, workshops, and trainings through a competitive process, typically attracting hundreds of investigators to contribute to the Center's programs and activities. This concluding session will review key discussion points from the previous days' sessions and explore their implications for the Statewide California Earthquake Center's next two-year plan. This discussion will also inform the 2025 SCEC Science Plan and request for proposals.
