THE VIRTUAL QUAKE THAT COULD SAVE LIVES

HPE DIGITA L GAME CHANG E R S THE VIRTUAL QUAKE THAT COULD SAVE LIVES With supercomputers at Argonne National Laboratory, SCEC creates fault behavior models that translate into life-saving measures INDUSTRY: RESEARCH REGION: UNITED STATES VISION Study the potential effects of catastrophic earthquakes to predict real-world outcomes STRATEGY Leverage supercomputing to build realistic, multi-magnitude simulations of fault behavior OUTCOMES • Predicts ground movement possibilities for given faults at different magnitudes • Creates accurate, physics-based simulations to aid in regional earthquake preparedness efforts • Influences government agencies and building codes to keep people and resources safer Catastrophic earthquakes are rare, and so is the hard data surrounding th
