• First GPU simulations with SeisSol on Marconi100 and Piz Daint
• Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel wins 2020 PRACE Ada Lovelace Award for HPC
• Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel wins one of ten ERC Starting Grants with LMU
• Earthquake motions triggered surprise tsunami - Combining earthquake and tsunami computer models of the 2018 tsunami in Palu, researchers identified underlying causes of the deadly tsunami and uncover critical role of direct earthquake motions.
• A surprising, cascading earthquake - The Kaikoura earthquake in New Zealand in 2016 caused widespread damage. LMU researchers have now dissected its mechanisms revealing surprising insights on earthquake physics with the aid of simulations carried out on the supercomputer SuperMUC.
• First detailed simulation of 2004 megathrust earthquake - Scientists in Munich have completed the first detailed simulation of the Sumatra earthquake that triggered a devastating tsunami on the day after Christmas in 2004. The results offer new insights into the underlying geophysical processes.
