The Planning for the Modeling Collaboratory for Subduction (MCS) Research Collaboration Network (RCN) was a community effort that was funded by the National Science Foundation in September of 2018 as part of the SZ4D process. For an overview of current activities, see here.

​

We organized workshops and webinars, and support collaboration among scientists studying subduction across all spatio-temporal scales. Our goal is to pave the way for a Modeling Collaboratory for Subduction, a new center for data-integrative modeling that will include physics-based, decadal-scale hazard assessment for earthquakes and volcanoes.

​

The MCS RCN was run by a steering committee and locally organized by Thorsten Becker at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics in Austin. For questions or comments, message contact@sz4dmcs.org.
