Congratulations to Team Cascadia (featuring CRESCENT-affiliated Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel) who've been awarded the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize in high-performance computing for their billion-parameter Cascadia Subduction Zone tsunami model using the world’s fastest supercomputer, El Capitan!
It still feels so unreal! Yesterday, we were awarded the "Nobel Prize" of Supercomputing, the ACM Gordon Bell Prize at #SC25 for our paper “Real-Time Bayesian Inference at Extreme Scale: A Digital Twin for Tsunami Early Warning Applied to the Cascadia Subduction Zone”: dl.acm.org/doi/full/10....

The team is developing a real-time tsunami forecasting system using an advanced digital twin framework that reduces what would normally require 50 years of supercomputing time to less than a second—a breakthrough that could transform early warnings for coastal communities.

Great to speak about how last week's tsunami impacted San Diego, just half a foot at La Jolla Shores (and yes, I’ll be keeping a "camera-ready jacket" in my office from now on).
Now is a good moment to review tsunami evacuation routes and flood zones in your area!

Looks like a small swarm in the Fontana trend. This M4.2 had a few foreshcoks including a M3.0. The Fontana trend is a NE-striking lineation of earthquakes under the sediments of the San Bernardino Vslley. We believe it is one of the left-lateral striking faults that are south of the San Gabriels.

Did you feel the M4.4 earthquake near Muscoy, CA, a few minutes ago? The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system was activated. ShakeAlert estimated the magnitude at M4.7, which meets the criteria for issuing alerts to cell phones in the area near the earthquake.
